Dropped off the kid at daycare, driving in the slushy ice/snow from the snowfall and melt. Then drove to work. Did not crash.

Everyone in Ottawa decided to stay home this morning despite the storm in the evening. No traffic on the way to work, did not crash!

If you're on summer tires you just need to drive SUPER EXTRA careful in those conditions and you'll be fine.

I drove my FRS downtown to get a haircut. The only time I had to back up, I had the whole street to do it in. Did not crash -
