1. Snowstorm that dumped 2 inches per hour a few years ago, and the town plows were not prepared. Some of the back roads I was making the first set of tracks in my old Jeep Cherokee XJ and the snow was high enough I was pushing it with the front bumper. Lots of wind and drifts made it impossible to see. Lots of cars stuck on hills and buried, lots of accidents blocking entire roads.
2. A hurricane was dumping tons of rain and all the roads were flooded. A family member's generator wouldn't start, so I drove there around all the downed power lines to help. Looking back this was pretty dumb considering how many large branches were flying around.
3. In November 2018 I drove to Niagara falls with my ex. We had a snowstorm in upper state NY on our drive there (weather predicted was "chance of rain"). I had my BMW with the snow tires, and it did fine in the snow, but there was a ton of ice on the hills and mountain roads. With the snow and wind visibility got down to pretty much zero. We had to keep driving because stopping on the desolate mountain roads was not really a good idea. So it was pretty much white knuckle driving in unfamiliar territory with icy conditions and zero visibility.
