Was it a tornado? Hurricane? Earthquake? What's something that made you go "holy ****, I need to take cover".
Is an earthquake even classified as a weather event?

It's certainly an emergency when you're in it. I started driving in light snow but then it just kept getting worse and worse. It did end up checked at a chain checkpoint (I have an AWD car so my chains stayed in the trunk) and they let me go. I was a bit surprised that they didn't just close down the road.We've had many, many major blizzards, but they aren't an emergency or anything. We just stay at home and wait for the roads to be passable and then proceed as usual. Usually plowing is started while snow is still falling.
