I'm with you, ann! I was driving to Red Bluff, this is just south of Cottonwood, over the hills there before Red Bluff. This was not the worst of it, just the only safe spot for me to take a picture ;-).
I watched four people slide off the road, one slid from right lane into a car in the left lane in front of me and they both went sliding off the embankment. I would have stopped, but it truly was not safe, I would have made the problem worse, not better...... so I just called it in and kept going.
The problem isn't the snow...... I can drive in snow..... it's the moronic Bay Area and So Cal transplants that think they can drive 70 mph on the freeway when you can't even see the fog lines, or they freak out and drive 20 mph halfway on the shoulder, making big rigs, who don't want to lose their momentum going up hills, pass them , hitting the pile of untouched ice in the middle of the road!!!!
I just turned on 4WD and plowed through with a couple of cars following behind, in my tread. :-)
