Default Icy Roads :(

Its been snowing/freezing raining, here in Baltimore since last night around 9, now its been going for over 12 hours, and is expected to go all day. I woke up this morning, cleared my car (was not fun) since it had about 1/4 on the side, 1/2 in on front, and a good 3/4 inch on the back where most was hitting. Well anyway. I got stuck as soon as I hit the top of my hill, I had to get out and clear the snow off the road in front on my tires just to get going again, finally got it, but going up another hill on the main road, I was sliding sideways. I was trying everything I could to keep going, but I finally gave up, pulled over, then I had to back down the hill, and make a U-turn and drive home. So I missed work, and now I'm home all day. My first lesson in the Xfire in the snow/ice. There were plenty other cars out, but I couldn't go anyway. So I was sad I couldn't handle it. And I couldn't take my Avalanche or pick-up since I needed to park in a garage in the City, and I know all the street spots will be taken. So I'm stuck inside on the computer all day now off work.
