We are intrigued by the self-restraint shown by the Minnesota and Wisconsin transportation departments to try to find some logical explanation for why people keep hitting snowplows.
This video, for example, from Wisconsin gently -- way too gently, we think -- points out that the plows create whiteout conditions ...
... as if it's completely understandable that a driver would, at high speed, go plowing -- no pun intended -- into the blinding snowstorm.
What could be making such a large area of "whiteness"? Perhaps the other plow in the right-hand lane (from the where the video came) offers a clue.
