How to use "Stopped up" in context?
There's something that always seems to happen when it starts raining: roads fill up quickly with water. Drivers are forced to stop and wait, which can lead to a lot of frustration.
Water is a great conductor of electricity, so when it's wet, it creates an electrical field that can cause car starts to misfire. In some cases, this can cause a car to flat-out stop. It's important to note that this only happens in cold weather -- in hot weather, water vapor can actually create a spark that starts the engine.
