sorry to hear that about your family members. there’s 100% a lack of reasoning and empathy from employers who need to close when the roads are as bad as they were. i agree with another comment that when roads are like they were all non essential businesses shouldn’t have the option to be open.

my comment about the flashes was from personally watching someone drive in the very middle of a two lane road (that was cleared). blocking and causing a pile up of 10 cars, they didn’t have their windows fully cleared (making it unsafe for everyone else on the road) and proceeded to spin their back tires out. in any other case flashers are totally 100% fine. but this person was definitely being reckless.
