VERY Dangerous Out There...

[nystate]

Roads here are completely iced over. I was on my way home from church earlier today and was involved in a weather-related accident. I was approaching an intersection when the car started sliding, and the brakes wouldn't work. I turned the wheel to try to avoid the car in front of me, but we still hit. Thankfully the damage was light, but I saw numerous other accidents on the drive home. Stairs and sidewalks are iced over as well.

Currently there is freezing rain and the temperature is 28F.

From another forum-

The scanner is going crazy. Right now 4 car accident on Washington St, roll-over on 81, and cars off the road all over the place. Please be very careful if you go out!
