Video: Snow + ice + Seattle drivers = mayhem

We know driving in snow and ice is tricky and could be very dangerous. Even with the liberal application of winter tyres, extreme weather can beat even the most hardy of off roaders.

This video shows a handful of drivers trying to tackle one of Seattle's trickier hills during a pretty nasty snow storm. What makes it worse is the apparent presence of black ice under the snow, hence some pretty violent wheelspinning.
