What you can't really tell from that video other than the speed of the slippy cars is how steep those hills are.

I normally drive right through that intersection on the way to work, but what with the conditions yesterday, I stuck to a flatter route.

And yes, that last one was an outback. The fire truck was only there for a few minutes to try to communicate to people that they shouldn't trying to be driving up and down hills in the snow/ice before it was hit by two cars. It was and still is a little bit of madness up here. Folks just aren't used to it.

Just think of what 3 inches of snow would do to SF!

I like that at the end the fire truck parks in the middle of the road to stop anyone else from sliding all the way down the street.
