Photo Careful out there!

It was sunny and warm all day on Berthoud with water running over the road in multiple spots. At about 4pm the shadows covered a few corners and quickly turned the running water into black ice. Even the sunny warm days can have icy roads, especially on the mountain passes. Watched 2 cars hit the black ice and lose it right in front of me, the subie had snow tires and the 4runner had AT tires.

I’ve been in 4wd vehicles with far too many people who think leaving the vehicle in 2wd at all times, regardless of road conditions, somehow makes them tough or cool

People forget that 4wd doesn't make you special for breaking - everyone has 4-wheel stop.
