Back in the late 1980s when I was living back home in Washington, on a Saturday when I headed into the nearby city to teach some music lessons I encountered black ice. I was driving a front drive Subaru wagon which had all season tires and tracked fairly well but I did go off the road that afternoon. I went to a nearby farm house where the owner let me call and had a tow truck come out to get me out of the ditch. No damage BTW but when it was free I canceled the lessons (the store said students had canceled anyway) and went to a tire store and had studded tires installed. My late father would have killed me for that as he worked for the county road department and hated studded tires because they tore up the roads. But no trouble with black ice after I got those.
.
BTW, cloud cover indeed effect the temperatures including the artificial tic-tac-do ones they spray above us.
Baby it’s cold outside!
