A similar thing happened on I78 back when Ed Rendell was the governor of PA. The snowstorm was predicted to start with 6-8 inches of snow and then end with several hours of sleet/freezing rain. Someone had the bright idea for the snowplows to raise their plows about 4-6 inches off of the road when plowing. They thought that leaving a layer of snow on the road would allow the sleet/freezing rain to accumulate into the remaining snow and the plows could then drop down to the road and plow it all off. The problem is they forgot to account for traffic driving on the snow they didn't plow and packing it into a hard base. The sleet/freezing rain came, then temperatures dropped to well below freezing and the whole mess froze rock solid and couldn't be plowed. Interstate 78 was a parking lot with miles and miles of trucks and cars that couldn't move. Roads that could be traveled had potholed hard snow packed in so bad that you could only go about 25 on them. The state spent about 2-3 weeks getting it scraped off the roads. Rendell finally took all responsibility for the fiasco. This event was the end of his political career.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
