I can drive in ice & snow *IF* I have to.
It's all about controlling your momentum. Take it slow & easy. Pay
attention to what you're doing and anticipate what you're going to have
to do down the road. Take your foot off the gas now & you'll slow down
automagically so you don't need to brake too much when you get up to
that stop sign or traffic light.
But, the best way to deal with it is to not deal with it at all. If I
don't have to go out, I ain't gonna'. I've got pretty much everything I
need here at home to get me through until the ice melts.
If I can't get the additional drywall tomorrow, it will only add a day
or two to my kitchen project. Like I wrote, "minor" problem.
PS: If I do bored and have to go out on foot, I've got a pair of these -

Oh my do be careful. We had snow here on Friday morning and was lucky
that I could leave work early. I slipped and sled a few times and well
was a nervous wreck when I did make it home. I don't do driving in snow
nor ice very well and appears this Spring or Summer will be getting some
new tires.

Just saw news that the storm that hit NC Friday & Saturday is on the way
to Boston.
The weather service was predicting 1" - 3" of snow here in Raleigh. I
don't know about the rest of the city, but what I got here was freezing
rain followed by two inches of sleet & a dusting of snow on top of that.
High temperature for today is supposed to be 26 deg F. If it melts any,
it's just going to get worse. It's supposed to get up to 29 deg F
tomorrow; Tuesday is forecast to be in the low 40s.
The street out in front of my house is a mess. Looks like there's been
some traffic, just enough to pound the sleet down into a solid layer of
ice about an inch thick. It ain't gonna' melt soon, and the City doesn't
do snow/ice removal on residential streets.
This could be a minor problem. I need to get to the building supply
store tomorrow & buy more drywall, except I don't think our street will
be passable even by Tuesday.
Y'all be sure to keep warm.
