Traffic In Slush

Slush is a slurry mixture of snow and liquid water that often mixes with dirt and other materials, resulting in a gray or muddy brown color. Slush on roads increases the braking distances for cars and trucks, raising the possibility of rear end crashes and other accidents. In areas where road salt is used to clear roadways, slush forms at colder temperatures than it would ordinarily, and only in salted areas; this can produce a number of different consistencies over the same geographical area. Slushfall or slushing is the action of a wet snow falling from the sky.
