    Snow chains! That really takes me back. I’m old enough to remember my father putting them on every winter, and keeping them on long after they were needed, just like this guy.

    There’s something about the expression of the guy in the driver’s seat that tells me he wasn’t driving at the time of the crash but rather is standing in for the benefit of the photographer.
