Why do I feel like this is what the roads around a GagaDaily convention would look like even in nice weather?

Actually I thought you were a good driver probably, and wouldn't be caught dead with these messes.

We’ve just had this here in Germany on Monday too  there were videos of people iceskating on the streets 

Yup, had a horrible experience. Streets were gritted, but I pulled into a parking lot and the car immediately lost footing even though I was super slow. I would never go out in these conditions normally, but had to get antibiotics for my cystitis. I just left the car parking and went back by train and foot.

Reason #45 why I don't drive.

Lord. People really need to stop fighting with Mother Nature.

Here in Ohio today we had a 50 car pile up on the Ohio Turnpike on the North Shore. 4 people instantly dead and more critically injured. 

 

I feel like they just gave a lot of kids that were 16-18 and are now 18-20 their licenses during COVID because in the past 2 years I have never seen such reckless driving on the roads. Its like...has anyone else noticed this? I have never seen so much of people just...I don't know...not knowing common sense driving rules...especially in the populated areas in the states. (I'm in Columbus, Ohio which is growing pretty rapidly right now so maybe that is what it is). We have a lot of people moving here right now that left California and New York because Columbus is liberal and metropolitan but less expensive and less crime. 

The driving in Ohio has become insane. And because of climate change the weather is even more extreme in Ohio causing the roads in cities like Columbus, Dayton, Cleveland, Toledo, and Cincinnati to be craaazy. Like...it was literally a wind chill of NEGATIVE 30 degrees yesterday. But it's supposed to be 60 degrees and moderately nice in a week on NYE. lol smh

Nope. Seattle doesn’t salt the roads OR plow them unless they’re major arteries. Horrible mixture of freak ice storm (for the area), unpreparedness, and steep hills results in this. They actually just close a lot of the really steep streets and call it a day in some neighborhoods. 

So steep hills, no salting/plowing and if it doesn't snow often probably no one has winter tires

 

I can see how this would be a disaster

Not a single winter tire in sight. Some of these hoes have bald ass tires since the summer.
