It makes one wonder about the law about being fined if you have snow tires on after April 30th.

Correction: S/B "Studded" snow tires

Studs help on ice, but it doesn't sound like the problem today was with sheet ice. It sounds like the problem was a wet, slushy road.

And once again, people driving too fast for the conditions.

Once about 3 years ago,I was heading up the Mud river Hill and met 2 cars and truck coming down sideways and completely out of control.
I got around all 3 of them,but that was a little bit hairy!
My wife almost wet her pants!
Another case of people driving much to fast for the conditions!
