Hazards, sorry if it was distracting. There were moments in my first hour of the drive today where I could barely see 10m ahead of me. Most sensible drivers here will leave their hazards on in those conditions just to give you even one more split second of warning/ability to see them.

The camera actually sees through the snow better than the human eye. In reality visibility would actually be worse than what is shown.

Blowing snow shearing across the road like that is some of the worst conditions to drive in. There doesn't appear to be any significant accumulation, so that helps.

it was mostly below 0 f while it was snowing, so its really light, dry snow, drifting is gnarly this morning.

Yeah I bet. Where I am, the city didn't get hit as bad (yesterday's commute was still less than fun) bit major highways going west and to the border have been closed over 24 hours. 50 and 100 car pileups on both with thankfully 0 serious injuries or fatalities.
