Snow blankets Seattle car

It's cool just how elastic snow can be given the right circumstances. My daughter pointed out that, "It looks just like a blanket!"

Sorry Jim, but it IS a snow covered blanket

No doubt the driver of the MB SUV felt that owning an expensive motor vehicle allowed her to abandon all common sense and drive like it was June. Based on the fact that she actually went up on the guardrail, her speed was probably in excess os what the weather would allow.

Now shw will be demanding to know why no one has responded in the first five minutes. Welcome to the world of budget cuts.

    Yeah, I think that is a blanket to protect the windshield from the snow that slid down!  lol!

        I don't think that may be true R. Scalzo. I drive a PT Cruiser, and could possibly do that at a creeping pace of 25mph ... its the momentum you build up from sliding that can cause you to jump a guardrail if hit just right. But, to give you credit people in bigger vehicles tend to forget that their vehicle is just as likely to get in an accident as any other vehicle.
