Please stay off icy Nineteen-year-old-girl is dead. Please stay off the roads Highway patrolman on news. Is begging us to stay home Ice under the snow Do not travel anywhere Car ran into bridge East I- 70 is closed Highway patrol is crying Please stay off icy Your life is too important Your children love you Nineteen-year-old-girl is dead. Please stay off the roads

The black ice is unseen, and you have no idea until you are flying off the interstate, upside down in your car, about to be killed. I know because I have survived this. And believe me, I never saw the ice. Had no idea why these "old people" were going so slowly as I zipped around them at eighty miles an hour and was promptly thrown off the road. That was 39 years ago.

Yes, very good advice.

I was in no way tempted. We took the day off, and I have no idea if I can get out of my driveway tomorrow either.
