These Wintry Accidents Didn't Happen In February...
Truck drivers are no strangers to long days or weeks on the road, but seasons? Yup, those can feel quite prolonged, too.
While any time from November to February on the road can be treacherous, icy roads and whiteout conditions don’t care what month it is--they can still pop up sporadically all the way out to mid-late April.
These three clips show how volatile weather can still be, despite most of the country already being knee-deep in Spring, not snowdrifts…

Snow-i-70 Shutdown For Hours-Wrong Way Drivers-People Walking on Interstate

While this might be the last we’ll see of wintry conditions until late fall (even in the more northern locales), we still think that staying alert on the road and investing in things like heated cold-proof or waterproof camera systems, waterproof proximity alert, Driver fatigue systems, and collision avoidance systems are a good call any time of year.
After all, Mother Nature is finicky and you can never be too safe.
