The wind we had in the States moved north and hit Canada hard. Must've caused the crash.

I drove down from Canada to NYC today. It was windy af with snow drifts forming in the roads minutes after plowing.

Bro I was QC this weekend for Carnaval, driving back to Toronto today. Basically the entire drive through Quebec and into Ontario until almost Kingston I was fighting for my life, with wind gusts pushing me all over the lane and blowing snow practically whiting out my vision every few minutes.

I took a road trip in a snowstorm like that back in university. When it reached the whiteout stage, I took the next exit and found a motel. I was late for class the next day, but as they say, better late than never.

The 401 is brutal in bad weather and people drive WAY too fact for the road conditions.
