ugly morning. all the runoff across the streets from the melting snowbanks is freezing hard. on my commute on canada way and imperial southbound... black ice everywhere. myself and another motorist stop at the traffic light and then i notice that her car is slowly sliding backwards with her brakes locked. the truck behind her is standing on his horn thinking she is going to run into him because he's trapped in traffic and has nowhere to go. finally she has to gas it and is practically doing a small burnout at the stop line just to stop her rearward travel... not sure if she's still there
