We just stayed home, and played survivor. It is my type of survival training, stay home with all utilities and cold beer in the fridge.

The ice was just a super thin layer, but it doesn't take much to make things dangerous when there are so many dangerously stupid idiot drivers on the loose in a SUV with 4 wheel drive and invincible. They had so many wrecks the cops quit responding unless there was an injury. The cold last night caused a lot of sublimation of the ice, so the roads are mostly dry now.

I will have to venture out today to get a new supply of bananas and moo juice for the bosses wife. I may slip by the beer supply store and add to the stock, don't want that to get critical low.

The Macan likely would do fine in slick conditions. I already know if I took it out in the slick conditions and salt for a beer run, I would have to spend a weekend cleaning it. Not worth that effort for beer. I do have limits, and a good emergency stock of beer.

One point of fact that is scary about drivers. Every year thousands of brand new drivers get a license and the keys to a 300+ HP vehicle. No real training for slick road driving. Plus lots of immigrants from areas that have never seen snow and a mix of foreign students in the area going to two close by universities that have never seen slick roads. I prefer to just stay away from them.
