We got 8" or so last night again. The roads weren't bad, but there is a town I go through and turn north to get home. It is about 2.5 miles and it was sheer ice on that northerly road last night. Someone didn't see or could not stop in time for a large drift and was 5' up on a plow drift and another car just past that one. Good thing the police were out there to direct traffic around the drift by the tie I got that far. I was lucky to be behind a semi truck. We were going just under 10mph and I kept the truck's Blizzaks close to the centerline where there was snow. The wind would blow and the trailer would slide over to the shoulder. Got off that road onto our road and it was just snow and small, maybe 2-3 foot deep, drifts to go through that 1/2 mile to the house. Then I got to clear the drive in the blizzard like winds.

I hate ice. I really, really hate ice.
