Well, Winter Storm Ezekiel is here in full force now.
When I went out, we were getting snow showers. Temperatures at 28F. I was hoping for some frozen snow pack to allow the tires to get a grip. Wasn't an issue, as I could see tire tracks and got a groove for most of the way.
I was gripping the brakes hard down the hill, when the city bus passed me. That was fun.
I got to within .5 miles of the office when I couldn't find a groove in the road. I started fish-tailing in the slush pack. Realizing there were cars behind me, I pulled over and stopped. One lady in a mini-van rolled down the window and offered a ride.
Hah, no thanks. I continued on.
Right then, passing me in the other direction were a snow plow and an ambulance that just happened through the area.
As I turned into the office, the road was less plowed and, although it's counter-intuitive, my tires got a much better grip.
No big deal.
