OK for fog; not OK for blizzard.

Why so? *You are just as likely to get smashed in low visibility in a
blizzard as in a fog..
Of course plow berms, etc may prevent getting off the road.

*How are you going to keep from freezing to death in a howling 50 MPH
wind at -4F if you get out of your car?

I'm well off the roadway, why would I need to get out of the car?
Cell to call a tow if one is needed and plenty of fuel to sit and
wait.

*And how are you going to get
OFF the road in the first place if there is a snow-plow ridge 5 feet
high on each side of the road??

Already mentioned by me in the very post you replied to.


BTW I am repeating information given in driver's ed manuals, many
articles on "how to drive in bad conditions" and advice given in
newspapers at the start of almost every wingter.

Where is your source for "continue to the next exit"?

*Think about it. *Then think again and consider your answer.

Not only thought about it before posting (more than once BTW) and know
that that iss the advice given by professionals.

It is fine to come up with your own theories of stuff but don't expect
people to buy them because _you_ said so.
