I-95 isn't mountain country. Things would have been different on I-64 west of Charlottesville or on I-81.I-64 crosses the Blue Ridge at Afton Mountain which is notorious for heavy fog. This has been the sight of some huge 50+ pileups over the years. But people knew to get out of their cars and hike to the top.

Charlie Spiering@charliespieringRalph Northam blames the drivers for getting on I-95, no apologies for obvious government failure. “We gave warnings, and people need to pay attention to these warnings, and the less people that are on the highways when these storms hit, the better.”8:50 AM · Jan 5, 2022
... “We’re trying to stay positive,” Colson said Tuesday after being stuck with her 63-year-old aunt, who has one lung and needs supplemental oxygen, a diabetic brother and her 13-year-old son. “But it feels like we’ve been abandoned. VDOT just left us stranded last night and didn’t try to do anything to get us out of this situation. They didn’t put in the effort.” ...State Police and transportation officials took to the air to monitor progress because highway traffic cameras went dark amid power outages, Northam said. While expressing sympathy for stranded motorists, Northam said more should have heeded warnings to stay off the roads.“We gave warnings, and people need to pay attention to these warnings, and the less people that are on the highways when these storms hit, the better,” he said. “I feel for these people that are stranded but just want to let them know we’re doing everything we can to get to them in a very challenging situation.”But some motorists said they aren’t to blame for what they saw as government officials’ poor planning.Ronni Schorr said Virginia officials were “not at all” prepared, and she didn’t see plows until Tuesday morning. She said her vehicle finally exited the highway after 14 hours, weaving around others stuck in the median, after a plow cleared an exit ramp on the other side of the highway. A tractor-trailer blocked the nearest exit ramp, she said. ...

Too bad America does not have an office such as Secretary of Transportation who could mobilize Federal manpower and resources to help people in this situation. Oh well? Maybe next term when Trump returns he will create such an office.

Let's cut Buggigieg some slack. From the output on his Twitter accounts (you're now up-to-date) he's struggling with a super full plate.
Just look how they successfully made Nixon responsible for Vietnam, instead of LBJ.
Northam conjures up Jan. 6 when asked about slow response to I-95 motorists stranded in icy conditionsJanuary 5, 2022 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://embed.air.tv/v1/iframe/uD6dIKZyRpOKORwt4shIuA?organization=LJ10S7THQdSjR0yQuzEugw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Democratic Virginia Governor Ralph Northam was quizzed on Tuesday about his slow response to deploy the National Guard to rescue stranded and freezing motorists on snowbound I-95 and proceeded to invoke the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill to excuse himself.WUSA9 reporter Mike Valerio tweeted: “4PM UPDATE – Virginia Gov. Northam just described the response to the January 6th Insurrection, saying it took a long time to deploy the National Guard, as a way of illustrating why his office says the Guard could not be deployed to I-95 on such short notice.”He went on to add, “4PM UPDATE – Virginia Gov. Northam says still, no injuries on I-95, as thousands are trapped. Says State Troopers are walking up and down offering food, medicine, to people in need.”morehttps://www.bizpacreview.com/2022/01/05/northam-conjures-up-jan-6-when-asked-about-slow-response-to-i-95-motorists-stranded-in-icy-conditions-1184666/
The idea of these two perverts around children is disgusting.Taking bets on one or both of the kids become so called "trans".If a boy, it will want to be a girl. If a girl, it will want to be a boy. (and that is an 'inspiration' to us all)That is the environment they are born into.
