Slid thru 2 intersections in my own neighborhood coming home. One was occupied...fortunately they didn’t move til I stopped sliding. Only going about 15 mph, but slid nonetheless. So helpless.
Wishing you a better day tomorrow.

Good evening, AZ, and thank you for the red, white, and blue tribute.
Thanks for letting me know the Ping didn’t work. Twice I got the proxy error, that I get every thread, and assumed it went through. Mistake. LOL!
Did you have a good day? An easy commute? No critters biting at your tires?

Tomorrow is shaping up to be a busy day and night so we'll see how it goes. Usually on busy days it rains.
Sounds like your neighbors have a handle on road conditions as well. How about your moose? tomorrow
