We had to cancel last night's Shoreline Model Raceways race. It was supposed to be just rain in my part of Connecticut, but we got snow to start with. I actually made it to the track and the driving was OK until I was almost there. I turned a corner and found that there was almost no grip at all, kind of like silicone tires on a dusty track. I think that the problem was that the temperature was right at the freezing point. I hung out at the track for an hour or so and headed home. The slippery section of the road was all slightly downhill, so I was not worried about getting stuck. I had to drive VERY slowly through that and a Jeep going the other way was stuck.
