Aside from that, driving on slippery roads in poor visibility causes numerous fatal accidents every year.They can be somewhat dangerous in the country where people can still be stranded outside with help a long way away, and in particularly severe blizzards it is possible to become disoriented and lost in whiteout conditions.The reason why they're so dangerous is because when the blizzard is going its very hard for people to drive and see through the snow.
