Black ice or just wet?

    I've had a quarter inch of ice build up on the leading side of my mirrors, and the outside temp never dropped below 34. The evaporation of water from the wind dropped the temperature of the mirror the couple of degrees needed to cause the rain water to freeze. The roads were simply wet.

    Now if you see icicles forming on the highway signs, there's a good chance that the bridges are starting to freeze.
     
    TriPac Dude Thanks this.

    Another good gauge to know if it's messed up, if a LTL guy slows down. Lol.
