    With the Wind NoCo roads are shitty. The winds coming from the NE, every road where there's open space is iced over.

    Great, that comprises 45 of my 60 mile commute. Glad I have leftovers from lunch.

    You guys need to be extra alert. Smooth and dry then FUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. I don't understand why people insist hitting their brakes, when all that needs to be done is GET OFF THE GAS, use the gear selector and let the rpms do your braking / deceleration.

    Lack of training and no situational awareness.

    I am probably one of the worst at obeying the rules of the road, but am very conscious of road conditions and not over driving the conditions.

    The ride in this morning I76 was a disaster. Wrecks and traffic jams every couple miles. I saw 3 of the wrecks happen and had to avoid spinning cars twice. In all three instances the maroon was driving too fast for conditions and reacted wrong when spin started. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
