Driving on ice is never fun....

I spent most of the afternoon checking the weather reports. I left around 5:30. I took side streets to get home. There was a wreck about 2-3 miles away from home that I was able to navigate around. I pulled into a Steak & Shake for dinner, and the parking lot was like an ice rink. One car had its rear wheels in a gulley and couldn't get out. After dinner, I took it slow and was able to get out, only to find the hotel parking lot had also turned into an ice rink. My car slid into the curb. I eventually managed to park in a parking spot.

Now the ice has melted, and it's still raining out. Let's hope it stays rainy, and doesn't freeze.

Glad you're ok, that sounds terrifying.
