I once went out during a freezing rain period when I lived in Worcester. My street was a level street off a big hilled main streat. When I left my street and turned left up the hill , the car came to a stand still with the wheels spinning. When I stepped on the break , the car started sliding down the hill backwards (that's a scary feeling!) . i had to keep the wheels spinning to stay in place. I ended up letting it roll slowly backwards until the rear wheels hit the curb behind me. this got me to about 45 degrees to the hill. I then went forward (wheel driven) and sideways (sliding) until I was 90 degrees then I gunned it to get across the street to the level side streat I lived on. I parked the car and walked to the puizza parlor where I had already ordered the food before realizing is was so slippery out. When I got into the pizza place , I unzipped and shook a big layer of ice off the outside of my coat.
