Dani just called to warn me that the roads are really hazardous. Dani is one of the most "optimistic" (but not reckless) drivers I know; if he thinks there's a problem, that's significant.
The big problem is "other drivers" more than the roads.
Yup. I should know better by now, but I am still surprised by the number of people who block intersections and don't seem to understand why that's bad.
And it's not just bad weather. Yesterday I saw an ambulance, lights and sirens going, unable to pass through an intersection because one side had an idiot sitting in it and the other had people driving through it, oblivious to the oncoming emergency vehicle.
