Few have put snow tires on their cars yet.

Nov 15 snowstorm ?

I was wondering when we'd see the results of Affirmitive Action engineering degrees.

Rise/run=slope...

They were probably more concerned with the architectural aspects of the bridge and forgot about the vertical geometry.

Not an engineering problem, it's just weather. The ground is still warm, the snow is heavy and wet. The first car to drive over it turns it to slush, by the 4th car, it's soft ice.

On the way back from the grocery store today, I hit the same conditions on some very mild slopes. 10 to 15 mph on a 55mph road.

I hit that situation again on an flat bit of un-plowed road close to home. Got to practice my fishtailing control early this year.

Lots of roads around here in Central/NW Jersey are as steep or steeper than the Bayonne Bridge approach. This is a known problem, schools shut early. Only heartless capitalists keep their employees working in such weather, so the rest of us can rush to buy bread and milk. Or early thanksgiving supplies, whatever.
