Slippery Doo Dah

Awakened to a thin layer of ice on our roads this morning. Nothing hardcore but enough to get the careless ditched.

Winter wonders are wiley when we are driving. Let’s be careful out there.

    Exactly and even a little condensation on the roads mixed with the oily film from leaking vehicles is a problem.

    The latest problems are the speeding motorcycles dodging in and out of traffic. The kids driving them take some awful risks especially on winter roads. 6 motorcycle accidents in one week, all motorcyclists killed and 3 drivers put in the hospital who tried to avoid hitting the motorcyclists.

    Winter is here folks. Slow and steady for safety.

  • I didn't encounter any ice. :)

    Ice warnings aren't much value without some indication of locality.
