Driving In Sleet Snow Weather And Icy Conditions


Experience Driving In Hazardous Sleet Snow Weather And Icy Conditions

ICMS, Inc. Reports
By Tom Okure, Ph.D.

Winter driving conditions, especially sleet weather conditions are dangerous to drive on. In this video, I show you how to drive under sleet snow weather in dangerous and icy conditions in the northeast of the United States (US) where we experience a lot of snowy weather unlike in the southern part of the US. 

If you are not an experienced driver in the snow, it is always advisable that you stay home or find an alternative way to get to your destination on a heavy snowy day. If you decide to drive especially if it is sleeting, you start by praying for God's travel mercies to reach your destination especially if you are venturing into the interstate highway system. Next, make sure you are not afraid, have thoroughly cleaned your car windshield, and warm your car before moving. Then ensure that you have a firm grip on your steering wheel while moving and accelerating. Pay careful attention to the road, especially because the white middle driving markings on the road are not visible in snowy conditions because the white lines are covered with snow. An experienced driver knows his/her car's body movement language and would easily catch any unusual or abnormal sliding or swings that may not easily be noticed or felt by an inexperienced driver. Learn to understand your car and how it operates and how much speed you can apply on the pedals without your tires skidding especially with ice accumulated buildup on the underneath of your car as you increase your acceleration up slowly. Many hidden icy spots may be covered by snow too. If your car slides suddenly, don't panic and slam your foot heavily on the pedals as this may actually make the sliding of the car on the snowy road even worse. A lot of accidents and accident car pileups occur under snowy conditions, especially during ice storms. Please be very careful.  


Remember that there is a big difference when driving between sleet, freezing rain, and regular snow conditions. 

Finally, according to the US National Weather Service, "Sleet occurs when snowflakes only partially melt when they fall through a shallow layer of warm air. These slushy drops refreeze as they next fall through a deep layer of freezing air above the surface and eventually reach the ground as frozen raindrops that bounce on impact. Depending on the intensity and duration, sleet can accumulate on the ground much like snow." I hope you watched the video and experienced a virtual drive on a snowy day in upstate New York State.

The New Trade Tariff Wars Begin!


The New Tariffs Wars Begin

ICMS, Inc. Reports
Commentary by Tom Okure, Ph.D

As President Trump unleashed unprecedented Tariffs on its neighbors, Canada and Mexico, both countries vowed to retaliate. Canadian President Trudeau immediately responded to Trump’s tariff announcement by announcing his 25 percent proportional tariffs totaling C$155 billion on its US neighbor beginning a first-time Tariff War between the two allies. 


The Canadian C$155 billion tariffs take effect on the same day the US tariffs take effect on Tuesday. In his closing remarks announcing the tariffs and financial hurt it will impose on both Canada and the US economies, Trudeau flanked by his foreign affairs and finance ministers noted in a somber mode, the years of good bilateral relations between the two neighbors. He stated:

"From the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of the Korean Peninsula, from the fields of Flanders to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours," he said. "We've built the most successful economic, military and security partnership the world has ever seen."

Trudeau encouraged Canadians to buy Canadian products and vacation at home rather than in the U.S. "We didn't ask for this but we will not back down," he said. 

Mexico also vows to retaliate against President Trump's 25 percent tariffs against Mexican exports to the US. Now that Canada has retaliated against its long-time ally, the world awaits to see what the  Mexican neighbors will do next. So far, China appears to have a wait-and-see approach to see what US two neighbors are doing before it retaliates against the 10 percent trade tariff President Trump has proposed on Chinese goods. This 10 percent will be in addition to the existing tariffs Trump imposed on China during his first term. Indeed, a new world trade tariff war may have started.
