Interesting drive home

Snow turning to sleet/ice. I went by 3 vehicles in the weeds that spun off 195. All 3 were 4wds--two Explorers and an Xterra. People that think 4wd makes them bulletproof

I felt 35 mph was comfortable, but by 40 it felt like I was pushing it, about on the borderline of being under control--in 4wd. I had a Beemer fishtail as he got about 30' from my rear end. He recovered and ducked in behind me. Someone who thought 50 was do-able

Someone else lost it getting off 25 at the Buzzards Bay rotary. The guardrail kept him on the road and he was able to straighten out and drive off.

Be careful out there in SE Mass and the Cape. It's slick.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
