We had Black Ice conditions yesterday. It rained and then got really cold quickly. Lots of sirens. The road conditions you describe bring back memories of when I lived in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. I remember "Tractionizing" tyres--where the snow tyres were run over a spiked roller, leaving little holes, which would add traction by attracting snow to them. That was 40+ years ago. I'm sure that they do things much differently now.
