Last night some freezing rain fell in our area. We woke up to a nice 1 cm think sheet of ice covering everything from houses to trees to roads. It was so slippery driving on it, at one point I thought I was going to end up in a ditch. I was trying to turn the car as the road turned to right, but the car kept going straight. Fortunately, a pile of snow hardened with ice stopped the car from getting off the road.

V got stuck on an ice patch on the way to work. Couldn’t get out for quite some time. Finally, after making the car go backwards, she could get enough traction to pull out of it.

On the road, there were usual overconfident SUVs sitting in ditches. One had hit the ditch really hard and broke its rear axle.

All in all, it was fun coming to work this morning. Had to use my driving skills after a long time.
