Black Ice.

[FleetsidePaul]

My wife hit some black ice yesterday. There were signs posted and she slowed down to 15 mph. She was in 4 wheel drive. That didn't help. She completely lost control and crashed into a snow bank. Which is actually a good thing because the other side of the road was a cliff.

Needless to say that she was rattled but managed to get the Jeep out and go on.

The Jeep was undamaged. But a word to the wise. Never ask if the Jeep is okay before you ask if she's okay. That doesn't go over too well. Trust me on that one.

I have never hit black ice but it sounds nasty. She said that she was helpless. It was slippery as a mud wrestler covered in Vaseline. And the funny thing was that it was a nice clear day. It was cold and it had rained the night before but we had blue skies.

So if you see signs saying icy road. Pay attention. She did everything right. She drove at a very low speed in 4WD and still wiped out.

In the end. It turned out okay. She's okay. The Jeep is okay. I got in a little trouble for being dumb but that's nothing new. All is good.
