Should have stayed in today. it was extremely easy to induce skids in my vehicle on deerfoot. Although I was still going faster than most. Also what was really fun was the trip up the bridge on southbound blackfoot trail. From halfway to the crest of the bridge that goes over the railyard, there was a strip of polished ice there.

I also passed 5 vehicles in various states of being stuck in a ditch as they were probably going too fast. Today would have been a good day for snow tires, or anything that would deal with black ice conditions.

(Note: I do not have real winter tires, as the nokian WR's have been sufficient these past couple winters as well as 4 seconds worth of space)
