For those that don't know, the cloverleaf ramp is at the intersection of Crump Boulevard and I-55 As Crump goes west It becomes I-55 North and crosses the "Old" river bridge that opened in 1949. This cloverleaf feeds I-55 north traffic onto the westbound bridge. Notice that it currently has two-way traffic on it. They are also routing southbound traffic on this loop from traffic eastbound on crump from the bridge onto southbound I-55 . They are rebuilding this interchange to get rid of the cloverloops and connect I--55 directly to the bridge.. This interchange was built in the mid 1960s and has been a pain for a long time. It is supposed to be finished in early 2025. (Observing this from South Florida where it is 75 degrees)

Thing for the weather terrified to remember is that we in the northern states (North Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan) don't have these problems, even thought the snow and ice are worse and more often, because we have good forecasting of bad weather, and plenty of winter weather dedicated trucks, vast amounts of ice melting compound, and equipment to deal with this before it makes a serious problem for people who have to travel for work. In Tennessee, they don't expect it and don't have anything to deal with it.

Even just snow tires themselves are a massive improvement over all season tires, let alone over summer tires. I live in Connecticut, so we do have proper winter support. This leaves lots of people being OK with leaving all season tires on all year. For the most part this is fine, so long as you wait for the plow trucks. Even then, every single person I know who has gotten a GOOD set of winter tires has been amazed at how much better they are. For all types of cars and light trucks, 2wd, 4wd and awd. On the other hand, I have seen people get cheap winter tires that were worse than good all seasons in the snow. Then form an opinion that winter tires are not worth it. When they should have learned to never cheap out on your tires.

We had a little snow yesterday that quickly turned to ice at stop signs and intersections. Cars struggled and a guy in a puckup truck with a plow smashed into a bmw in front of him while trying to stop for a red light. A Volkswagon Golf GTI was struggling horribly in front if me. A the red light he slid, but managed to stop and then his car slid completely sideways into the curb. He managed to get through the light and was spinning wildly and zigzagging. Luckily it was a four lane road and I saw an opening to get around him when he was sliding away from the lane I was in. I went quickly before he had time to zig back into my lane and accelerated smoothly and swifted up the curved hill. I got the heck off the main roads and stuck to side streets after seeing the cluster there. My car isn't anything great just a Mazda cx 30 awd, but I put some bluzzak tires on in in december and I was glad to have them.

Interesting. I own a VW Golf turbo diesel and my little car drives on ice like it has chains on the tires! It's a bit confusing to me, but I drove for hours during our ice storms in 21 & 23 & rarely slid or spun. I did mild hills, up & down, without any problem. I have manual transmission & front wheel drive & have been told that has much to do with good handling on ice. It caught my attention the GTI having issues, bet it was an automatic.

@Wigglythegreat2 3 ай бұрын

@@crooked-halo I'm sure it was mostly down to bad tires, as I have a co-worker that drives one all winter. I wish I had a dash cam to show the struggle though, the poor guy had little to no control. All I wanted to do was get well away from him. He might have even had performance Summer tires for all I know, but he was spinning them up really bad. He wasn't the only one struggling, but he was the one struggling the most.

@Wigglythegreat2 3 ай бұрын

@@crooked-halo Come to think of it I am sure it was his tires because when he was completely stopped at the light the car just slid completely sideways into the curb. Other cars were sliding, but he was the only one whose car completely went sideways like a crab does.

@crooked-halo 3 ай бұрын

@@Wigglythegreat2 When our ice storm happened my tires were almost new, so I'm sure that helped. They're just all-season, but also 17" wide so that also helps, but the GTI probably had 17" also. But yeah, no tread and you're not going to grab ice. Golfs are low to the ground, which helps on ice and the GTI and mine share the same, high-performance suspension.

Yes! And people NEED to be told to turn traction control OFF to keep wheels spinning up hills to keep momentum,& also to get unstuck in deep snow or on ice! This info about when to turn traction control OFF should be announced on the TV & radio! Also should be taught in driver's ed!
