Question

How does this quote unsettle readers?

By the time I came to the strip malls and factories a few miles south of Barrie it was dark and I was in the middle of a full blizzard, peering through a white fog of snow at the tail lights of the cars in front of me. The wind howled across the highway, pushing curtains of thick flakes, picking up snow and fields and banks on the west side of the road and stirring it into the storm, producing a white-out. Driving in the white-out was like creeping along the bottom of a sea of milky water that was constantly swirling and buffering the van, reducing visibility to zero” (“Bell).
