A note to all the cold-weather novices who are out there driving -- try to get a sense of whether there is black ice on the road (i.e., the road has ice on it, but it doesn't really look like it does). If it does, drive slower than you otherwise would. If you drive too quickly, you can easily send your car into a 40-mph tail-spin as I did once. It ended well, but I learned my lesson. Eric
