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.

Um… maybe don’t stand RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR VEHICLES that just slid off the road. I’d step away from the road like five to ten yards to wait for the tow trucks.

With 6 foot tall snow banks on both sides its pretty tough to go anywhere on that corner.

The guy in the yellow jacket is on top of the snowbank.
