Would have been quite a scare the Knik Bridge and ice zero visibility. We drove the old Glenn Hywy last Sunday where there was open water you had maybe 2-car length visibility. With the crazies on the Glen?

Same thing back in 1980`s me and a buddy pulled over before the bridge in the e lane because of the fog and watched people go by in the fog speeding like fools and pile up , one car was off the bridge half way through the ice. Like 28 cars ass ended it was amazing to watch LOL valley trash always in a hurry to go nowhere.

..........valley trash always in a hurry to go nowhere. In a hurry to get to work, knowing that the pokes rolling into the highway in Evil River @ 40 mph are going to slow everything down until they wake up somewhere south of the weigh station.

With the inversion and cold in Fairbanks, we may as well have thick fog. I’m expecting a major pileup on the Richardson 500 either between North Pole and Fairbanks, or just north of town going towards Fox.
Lots of drivers going way faster than their line of site and visibility allows. My brakes kept locking up from ice buildup this morning and power steering pumps aren’t working too well either.
It’s a perfect storm….

Youse haven't fat fingers. Your exceptional wit and intelligence have simply confounded the keyboard is all.
Now, who was it that pays for breakfast next time again? 😎
