Many drivers took precautions, driving slowly and maintaining safe distances between vehicles.
A New Yorker, commenting on the icy roads while picking up food, noted, “You guys really made it sound like a life-threatening thing, which is good. It kept some people properly at home, not driving. But it wasn’t too bad overall, I’d say.”
