Snow is one thing, ice is another.

What do you think is under the snow? wink It was 65 F yesterday, warm pavement. Rained at 2 AM then temperatures plummeted. Rain turned to snow but pavement is still warm grin what forms when snow melts the freezes? It is currently 14 F and dropping..... you guys and your ice is slick but snow isn't laugh

Saw that exact thing happen in Billings once. On a hill a few miles west a truck lost traction and blocked the right lane. I got by (in a pickup) but I guess another truck tried to pass and got stuck beside him. Shut down the entire West bound.
