Almost no one went out on Sunday.

Yes, I think that must have been around the right time.

Enough snow gets kicked up when you are in a pack of cars that the only way the "timers" can see who is coming by is by the number boards on the roofs... and yes some people do make thier cars look like pizza delivery cars.
Too much fun for a $300 car...

that's a pretty minor ice storm. when it gets to 1/2" thick then you got something.
we get what's on your at least a few times each winter.
when i step out of my igloo on the ice flow to harpoon a seal, the ice storm coated ice is pretty damn slippery.
