    I drive be over that hill twice a week. They have been talking about black ice the last two weeks. There has been none at all, it was freaking compacted snow.

    Hmm we could use salt or you can learn to drive or stay south. Driver was going too fast and probably had Jake on. They were loading the trailer into a dump truck with a skid steer that had a grapple bucket.

    Seems like everytime I watch a snow/ice crash like this I hope the driver is okay.. and then fired.
    Maybe I have a future working in a safety department :D:p
