Photographs taken of the pileup on Interstate 81 north near the Oswego-Jefferson County line show tractor-trailers and other vehicles smashed together, blocking all lanes of traffic.

A little snow and see what happens. ;-)

[who knows what evil?]

Driving too fast for conditions...speeders in Red Hampshire have ‘taken out’ 19 State Trooper cruisers so far this exceptionally nasty winter season.

I don’t understand. Must have been an out-of-state motorist.

"I don’t understand. Must have been an out-of-state motorist."

Yeah that's must be what it was out of state drivers. ;-)

[Genoa]

No, really, drivers in upstate NY can handle twice this much snow with no problem at all.

What I usually see: “I have AWD! I can go 70 in this! YEEEHAAAAA!”

Hopefully, that tanker truck does not have something that goes boom!

[Kartographer]

Yeah what ever you say. Most likely a fake picture, take is South Carolina, Georgia, maybe Florida. ;-)

And you Yankees say Southerners can’t drive in the snow?

[Genoa]

Folks, if you’re not from Upstate NY, please stay away during snow season. Thanks.

[who knows what evil?]

Body shops are making a killing in Red Hampshire...guess they forgot how to drive in snow, as well.

[thackney]

Yeah, upstate NY never has accidents in the snow unless caused by southerns....

[Kartographer]

How can you say that? Who doesn’t want to go to upstate New York for spring vacation?

Too clean looking - might be a milk truck. Or at least some literal consumable.

No worries. It's written into the grime on the back of the tank, there. It was Baby Milk. From the Baby Milk Plant.

Actually there are far too many people who are too scared and go slowly. Then they get stuck or start slipping and have/cause an incident.

I’ve never yet seen anyone going too fast as the oft-stated canard is. Where are these speedsters everyone talks about all the time? They aren’t around me. Maybe because I’m the fastest out there. ;-D

I-81 north
I-81 can be a pain in the @ss to drive even during the summer.

[Genoa]

Rebel, I’m talking to you. ;-)

[Puppage]

See? THIS is why we can’t have nice things.

But I HAD to get to Clayton!!!!
