Right after I left roo and pleiad I headed north on 101, not one mile up out of Cloverdale I realized the road had a good inch of hail on it and I was headed into a turn at 60, I just let off the gas, turned on the hazards and drifted to the truck lane, slowing enough to regain control - in my rear-view I saw 2 or 3 other cars doing the same, but one white pickup was obviously losing it, fishtailing back and forth- totally out of control.
On my way back south about 20 minutes later, sure enough the pick-up was totally head-on'ed into the jersey barrier with ambulances and CHP, by that time the road was totally clear of any sign of the ice.
poor sucker....

I was distracted when Roo was waving wildly at me on 101 S and I continued on thinking that was his exit to home. He calls me thinking I must be running on fumes like him. Hell NO! I was at half tank after roughly 200 hard miles. My old *** NA gets good mileage.
Awesome drive! Who else saw wild turkeys, (fenced in) zebras, waves, snow and cows on public roads today?
PS: Apologies to the WRB STi driving towards Cazaderos today.
