^^ it says a fatality.
I walked to dinner, the thin layer of slush was pretty slippery. And of course some asshole blows right by us driving way to fast through the neighborhood. I was not amused. 2/13/2014 10:26:07 PM |

I think tomorrow AM will be more of a shitshow as far as wrecks than the whole snow storm. Most of the snow accidents were really low speed low impact, this black ice shit is crazy. 2/14/2014 12:11:55 AM |

If you're in charlotte, don't mess around tomorrow. I just took a quick walk around the neighborhood (fuckin insomnia) and up to the secondary roads out of the neighborhood, and they are all covered in black ice. be currful if you get out in this in the morning 2/14/2014 2:24:18 AM |

I don't really get why 'black' ice isn't just 'clear' ice
is black ice still black on concrete? NOPE
Its a shame that most people don't understand friction and momentum. a lot of this drama could be avoided 2/14/2014 2:39:11 AM |
JT3bucky All American 23258 Posts user info edit post |
because you drive so much more on concrete
Anyways...the secondary roads and even the side of the main roads are COVERED in icy spots. Its super slick, way worse than 2 weeks ago in terms of losing control.
a few weeks ago, you just slid...this you skip slide and jerk.

fun fact: asphalt (blacktop) is technically "asphalt concrete"
so yes
also a number of highways are the normal white-colored concrete

Just drive around downtown, they're fine. Only slick spots are in some turn lanes or turning into parking lots, as long as you aren't driving like a jackass its not an issue. 2/14/2014 10:06:45 AM |

Michelle Everest is the mystery woman. She lives in north Raleigh.
Everest was stuck on Glenwood Avenue Wednesday for over four hours, on her way home from Durham Technical Community College. She was talking to a friend when she saw a car up the hill catch fire.
Everest was walking toward it to help when she heard sirens behind her.
She turned around.

I saw the drug bit, hadn't heard anything on alcohol which I thought was weird for something like this. Ya I see they just this morning upped it to 2nd murder.
Roads out in JoCo are pretty good now. DOT was saying after 10am black ice should be fine, and its plenty warm now to be melting everything and drying out.2/14/2014 10:45:27 AM |

My jackass coworker is trying to throw shade on those of us who didn't come in yesterday because he is supposedly living in a "rural" area and all his roads were clear.
He refuses to acknowledge the fact that his roads were cleared quickly because he lives in a rich area or that he is in fact "suburban" and has city utilities and services.
Looked at me like I was crazy when I asked him if he had a well or depended on a volunteer FD. 2/14/2014 10:46:24 AM |

Most roads should be clearish by now. Even neighborhood roads that are getting sun. Anything in the shade though, probably still pretty slick. 2/14/2014 1:09:30 PM |
