Winter Doesn’t Cause Traffic Jams, People Do!

December 7, 2006 | Filed Under In Defense of Winter |

     

Here are two pictures. In one, we have our worst commuting nightmare. In the second, a peaceful scene. Note that snow is in abundance in both, and yet, the two situations couldn't be more different. Why? People, people. 

Snow is consistently and routinely blamed for everything. But here is hard evidence that while traffic jams occur in winter, it has nothing to do with snow. If snow caused traffic jams, there would be a snarl-up in picture #2. As we all know, traffic jams happen in the summer, too. Obviously, snow has nothing to do with that either.

Clearly, it's people that cause the problem and it's people who want to blame something or someone other than themselves. Winter has been a convenient scapegoat. Therefore, on behalf of my client I would ask that next time you cause, contribute to, or are otherwise involved in a wintertime traffic snarl up, take a look in the mirror and not out the window before casting aspersions.
