Today is your day Boomer! Winter is hanging on....and we have to remind ourselves of this Boomers. Roads, especially mountain highways, and all roads in the early morning hours can be extremely slippery because of left-over frozen snow, slush, and black ice. And it is this black ice that is so hard to predict and so hard to see. According to ICBC, "When temperatures are near freezing, be more aware. If you notice ice build-up on your windshield, there's likely black ice on the road. Black ice is commonly found in shaded areas, bridges, overpasses and intersections. Slow down and increase your following distance in these slippery areas." For example, Abbotsford B.C. had one day with 22 vehicle accidents last week, all due to icy conditions. Good winter tires are not enough. Boomers, we need to, perhaps, consider staying home on bad driving days. Ice is not nice....
