Good morning! I awoke here this morning at 4:45am to a temperature of 40 degrees and since I've been here at work, it's already down to 34 degrees and dropping. It looks like that cold blast is starting to make it's way or should I say, push it's way here...
I just don't know what it is about being where I moved to, but I had another ice event yesterday/ last night. I left the house in the van with my wife and daughter, when I got down our street to end, it's a hill. I started down the hill, slowly, and that was it, I completely lost control of the van. Lisa starts yapping at me about driving so close to the shoulder of the road, and I said it's not me but the momentum of the van. I was not driving it, it was driving us.....
We slid down and around a curve without hitting the guardrail or driving off the road; about 75 feet. I ended up at the bottom of the hill, in the other lane of traffic (with no other car in sight)... I had to pull over and recollect myself, and check my drawers just to make sure I didn't have an accident in them.....
There was this light mist falling at the time, it was foggy and the road was just cold enough where it started freezing up; black ice....it about scared the beagebees out of me~ I drove the rest of the way on pins and needles until I got back home.
Between that and the Packers losing, esh, what a crappy night! At least there was one good thing, by the grace of god, I didn't hit anything or anyone. I never want to go thru that again~
