My heart goes out to you folks in Texas dealing with this cold and ice and snow. Like Dave said, see it frequently in the NE and even with experience we will get surprised by it. I had a neighbor killed a few years ago one spring morning when a barely freezing temp produced black ice where melting snow had run across the road overnight. They call it black because you just can't see it. It's more dangerous than a foot of snow.

We're staying in NW GA right now and we will more likely get ice than snow if it's cold. When it's below freezing here I just stay in my camper. Even with my experience with winter conditions it's the other drivers that I'm afraid of. It's not that they're bad drivers, it's just they are not used to those conditions.

I saw pictures of that 100+ car pile up that left 6 dead. vary sad.
