Best to always look at the weather along the route, including the National storm prediction center, and any local weather during winter. . . or during tornado season in the south. . .
We saw it a lot on the Minneapolis - St. Paul freeway system, and it was ALWAYS the worst on the days of the first significant snowfalls. I-35 goes right through the Twin Cities but is a main migrant worker route from where it enters Minnesota at Albert Lea up through the middle of the state, and a lot of those workers have no idea how to drive in snowy or icy conditions, and even long-term Minnesotans seem to get stupid over the summer.
