- - snow on you car (https://www.toyota-4runner.org/off-topic/270145-snow-you-car.html)

Please people, wipe the snow off your car before you head out. Saw 2 crashes yesterday (no accident, predictable) caused by drivers heading out with snow on the roof.
When the interior of the car warms up, the snow melts next to the metal on the roof, but the rest of the snow isn't melted. Then when you step on the brakes, a sheet of snow slides down over your windshield, and you are driving blind!

There was so much wind/snow that the stoplight housings were completely full of snow. You couldn't see if the signal was red, green or even working. Not too mention all the signals without power. I hesitated at a dead signal as some kid blew the light and almost hit multiple people, including myself, treating it as a fourway stop. Colorado drivers are just negligent now.

Saw another crash today, this one a roll over with injuries. I saw the snow blow up from his hood onto the windshield. Blinded, he panicked, hit the center guard rail, then across into the ditch, and rolled. Hurt the two kits in the back seat. I don't think too bad, but enough for an ambulance. Could have been much worse. Should have been avoided.

Yes Colorado's new crop of rude, inconsiderate,abusive drivers are amazing to say the least.
