As I was going between Cheyenne and Laramie yesterday afternoon I hit ice and went for a ride. I went sliding with the tailgate trying to pass me, caught it and then slid off on the outside. I was lucky in a couple of ways. I did not hit anything and was able to get back on the road without problem, and when I was sideways, I was still on ice so I did not start rolling over.
That is something I NEVER want to go through again. It has been a long time since I was on ice, snow a couple of years ago in PA, but not ice like that.
IT was insanely cold in Laramie, -17. I could not clean my window, everything froze as soon as it hit the glass, even with the heater running full blast. I ended up putting clean snow and running the wipers until it cleared up.
