LOL, Earlie. That's the definition of Canadian winter, all right. 'From Here to Infinity ...' <g>

We used to call it black ice around Montreal, probably a reflection on the state of Quebec's blacktop roads at the time. For those of you who have never had the pleasure, this ice is invisible, perfectly transparent, and as Earlie mentioned, infinitely slippery. You don't know you're on it until it's too late, at which point you better hope your wheels are pointing straight and that the road is straight and that there is nothing stopped in front of you ... because your steering doesn't work, your brakes don't work, you discover you've become a giant curling stone going somewhere fast on a very straight line.
