We got like 2 feet of accumulated snow in December, and now since this weekend it's been up in the 40s. The combined melting and then evaporating snow has covered all of Madison in fog. It's like 200 ft visibility in the day and maaaaybe 30 feet at night. Been like this since yesterday morning. So of course yesterday there was like a 100+ car pileup on I-90 which shut down the highway in both directions for 8 hours. Some people were stupidly going over 70 mph with 200 ft visibility. There were cars piled up everywhere, jackknifed semis, pickups trailering lawnmowers with the lawnmower on top of the car next to it, and a whole bunch of confused people wandering all over the place. The cops had to bring in city buses for people to warm up in while they sorted out what the hell happened. "Only" 2 people were killed.
