Freezing Rain
My first experience with freezing rain sucked. Friday night we were heading out to the barn to check on the horses. It was raining out, and what looked like a wet front step was, in fact, a solid sheet of perfectly clear ice, about 5mm thick.
Stepping on this sheet of ice proved to be a mistake.
My lower back came down on the corner of the step and now is totally black and blue. My back is just thrashed. I went to my chiropractor and the first thing he said when he saw the bruise was 'oh shit!'. Not something you want to hear.
I am now much more cautious about ice.

When I lived in Lake Arrowhead, I drove my Trooper in 2 complete clockwise spins, then 1 counter-clockwise spin all while missing the woman standing at the bus stop nearby.
Ice sucks.
