slippery - my wife who is a very good slick road driver spun out
last night

the ditch
.. Whole right side is damaged , and right now it's sitting along
side the
road in a yard right where she went off waiting for any fliuds to
drain back
down where they belong . Wouldn't do to bend a rod of something due
to hydraulic lock in a cylinder .

Very sad to hear that. I hope no one was injured?

NYS has ice, now and again. It's no fun.

Hi,
Good, she is not hurt, I sure hope.
Even we Canucks fear the black ice most. All my family vehicles have
good set of winter tires and AWD power train. Wife's can lock
into real 4WD. So far no problems. Today 2 deg. Celsius, tomorrow
will be around 7 deg. C. Melting like crazy. Chinook condition.


Her car is a Mazda Tribute , same thing as a Ford Escape . And she had it
locked in 4WD when this happened . Thing is that AWD/4WD may help the GO ,
but it don't do squat for the SLOW . The only thing that would've helped in
this situation is chains or studded tires . I may have to invest in another
set of rims , with studded snow tires for winter use .
