It was real bad for a while. Blizzard / whiteout conditions and temps low enough to prevent salt from being effective. I’m sure it would have happened here too.

That said… 96 cars!!!

well unless they’re never had fog…which was the cause.  
Anyway it’s all good fun. The canadian insurance industry is going to rape those individuals so I really feel for them. Also the HW was shut down for over 12 hours so 10s of thousands could not get home from work or school.
