So, in other words, possibly.

Lol are you new to driving in northern states?
Ice sheets fly up in the air and due to the speed of traffic your car can travel significant distance before the sheet comes down
You could be traveling multiple car lengths behind a vehicle with ice on their roof and it could still fly over your car.

95 north near Lexington. The cops she talked to said this was the third one he was called to today.

Interesting. I’m new to ice driving. This makes sense, I just didn’t know

Of course. Yes, that does make sense. The ice stays on… until it doesn’t.

It can happen even if you’re plenty far enough behind the front vehicle. Those ice sheets/ice slabs can fly around in the air in weird ways and can land very unpredictably. R/boston was talking all about it yesterday and some people posted videos. There’s no rhyme or reason to how the ice lands and believe it or not, you can get hit even if you’re not following closely at all.

I see ice chunks come flying off the roofs of vehicles, especially box trucks and semi trailers, traveling at highway speeds all the time.

I broke my scraper cleaning it off- had to drive to HD for a new one. That being said, Maine license plates work in a pinch!

They have to do it that way for safety and liability. Try to look at it as people saving your life vs feeling inconvenienced and entitled.

This is a mass thing, I used to live in Buffalo and we never did this out there, I have always found the way Mass deals with snow on roads quite odd and mildly frustrating to watch

We need teachers! It is definitely not oversaturated here. Especially if you'll work in Title 1 or special ed. Positions will start being posted soon, but there might be a small summer crop too as people don't sign their offer letters for next year. I got my job here in July which was stressful as we had already decided to move to the area. I hope you love it here 😊

My teenager doesn't go to school. I take her to a building 5 days a week to hang out with friends and deal with frustrated adults who realize their pittance isn't worth it.

My windshield was shattered this morning by a box truck that shed a piece of ice at 65 mph. Totally sucks.

Springfield is always hiring teachers. It’s a Title 1 district, so you get a lot of the Title 1 issues. They don’t use schoolspring, so check here. This is also contingent on your partner passing all of the MTELs, and they will also have to either take RETELL or pass the SEI exam AND get a Master’s (this is a state requirement, not just Springfield). A benefit of Springfield is that the district offers RETELL for free, many districts do not. There are also fast track Master’s programs in the area.

Suv in front of me on 91 had a piece of debris the size of its hood fly off into the next lane. Could have easily killed someone

SEI is a course, not just an exam, and it's pretty demanding, but it is interesting and useful, so at least it's time well-spent.
