Freezing rain is the worst. We had an episode a few years back that was just wet glaze ice. The street in front of my house is sloped for the rain to drain into the storm drains, but I sure don't think of that as an incline. I got home from work back then in 12 minutes in normal conditions. It took a couple of hours, in the wet ice. It was so slick that with the brakes on, in neural I just slid sideways until one tire came up against the curb to stop me. Walking was almost impossible. It took me a minute or so to get onto the grass for enough stability to walk. Getting into the house was a chore.
I sprinkled some ice melt and sand on my driveway, after putting on some spiked footwear. I had to creep around the neighborhood and hit my sloped driveway with some speed to have a chance to get into the garage. It sucked big time.
