Town had a patch of black ice on the roads this morning- temps hovering around 34F. Pile up on the highway north of Boston.

Seasonal event now as the town's salt & sand budget seems to kick in around December 1. Either that, or the plow man forgot to wake up.

I knew there was black ice on the roads. I chose the "safer" of the two routes in.

On the very last left hand turn I skidded over the yellow dividing lines. Anticipating a skid, I had my left leg down in time to re-balance. No problems.
