Child's play! We get zero-vis all the time. I've never seen the "stopping
on I-95" bit in 8 years here. Guess I'm lucky, or the visibility was too
bad for me to notice them ;-). If you think the driving was bad this
weekend, you should see it in January when the blue-haired snow birds come
down in their white Sedan DeVilles with red leather interior. It isn't
pretty. Thankfully I don't live in a tourist town where the average age of
the snowbirds is 157 (one of "God's Waiting Rooms," as we year-rounders
call them). Not quite as bad as when I'd spend the weekends in Greenwich
Village while dating the future Mrs. Soave driving an MGB, but close.
