Yeah, ice storms seem more normal around here but it does make for treacherous driving. For some reason people with AWD or 4 wheeled drive vehicles think they can drive at regular speeds under these conditions. They find out different when they encounter Black Ice or when they try to stop.
Yeah - my first experience with a ice storm was when a motorcycle passed me on black ice - then he tried to turn at the intersection - I stopped and offered to pull him out of the garden he ended up in - he declined - no injuries - he was lucky... (his ride was stuck in clay - by the time they got it out - about a week - the garden/ground chemicals had eaten all the chrome off the bike/engine - lessons learned)
