First wipeout of the year!The winner being the lake of black ice that has formed over the road of the industrial estate (very poor drainage...). Knew it would happen, but was momentarily distracted by the prospect of a bacon sandwich. As you do

And they hadn't gone out and used some boiling water to dissolve this spot of death? Charming.

Still nice to hear your okay, did you manage to slide off gracefully?

The hot salty water we were using on the car Sunday was refreezing.

boiling water?!?! Who would do that to get rid of road ice? It'll just re-freeze into a bigger puddle.

Silly English-types. You put rock salt on it, and sand if you need traction right away or it's super cold out.

Yeah yeah, and also deicer.

I've lived in cold places! Not reaally cold places mind, just more southern than you damn northerners.

My point was more why were they just sitting about watching? Was it for "teh lulz" as Mike would surely say?

It wasn't so much a spot as, well, the road. Black ice on almost every square foot from site entrance to car park.

And yeah, it would have laughed at hot water.
