Frost creates icy road accident outbreak

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.

An outbreak of icy road crashes Thursday morning shut down several roads in the Charleston area, including I-64 at MacCorkle Avenue and Greenbrier Street near Airport road. The culprit was a coating of pure frost that developed as temperatures dropped under clear skies. Not snow, not freezing rain or fog, but frost.

This is the first significant icy road event I have seen caused by pure frost. One thing I noticed is that the road frost was white, with an appearance of salt residue. While reports this morning referred to it as 'black ice', it was in actuality 'white ice'.

The following photo set shows an accident scene on Greenbrier Street that shut down the four-lane road for at least an hour. Notice the appearance of the frost covering the road:
