The freezing rain event that I blogged about in my last post has resulted in at least 12 fatalities - six of those in PA alone. All of these deaths occured during a 3-hour window around sunrise on Sunday morning.

Here is a video I want everyone to watch. Pay close attention to how the roads appear.

There is a feeling among many in the weather community that drivers are responsible for themselves while on the road. While this is a valid point for most situations, if a motorist does not know how to forecast for winter precipitation, how can they realistically be expected to visually identify the hazards shown in the video?
