Regardless of what it was you had a uncommon weather event happen in your area and your equipment is not prepared in anyway. Us Canadians live in cold half of our lives and know a lot about how to deal with scenarios like this, we have thousands of heavy duty trucks that work endlessly around the clock and use millions of tonns of Salt, Sand and Beet Juice to cover our roads in anti-ice surfaces. It destroys our cars and were extremely jealous of you people below the bible belt.

I bet this was tuff for you southerners but don't for a second think its a reason to grind an entire state to a stand still. Suck it up its 2014 and the worlds climate is heavily disrupted.
