Happens every year with the first snow no matter how little. The state forgets to treat the roads. It was an ice rink on 128 around 5 o'clock. People were going 20mph sliding all around the place.

I remember the absolute hell that was driving from Southborough to New Bedford during the first snow of the season in 2020. What was predicted as a dusting turned into 3 inches of snow, no roads were treated, and 495, 24, and 140 all had a solid sheet of ice on them. It took 3.5 hours to get home. Decided then and there I'm working remote for the rest of my life.

I had to pass an entrance to a shopping plaza on 125 going under 30 because I couldn’t break in time and the traction control was going on after I was fully stopped at lights. The conditions started getting bad in the northern part of Essex County around 6.
