Having finished up various errands as the snow started falling, I was all set to show up at the dispatch office ready to start work. The streets were just starting to get a little slick, but slow 'n' steady seemed to be safe enough. Less than 1/2 mi to the office, one of those big long Jaguars pulls out onto the street & begins fishtailing, over-correcting, & swerving more & more out of control; I'm watching this slow motion ice ballet, when I realize this idiot's not gonna save it, in fact he's sliding sideways uphill &
heading right at me!
Fortunately, all this was developing slowly enough for to gently pick up the pace & get out of Shit4brain's way just in time...I check to rearview to make sure the danger is passed, & the dumbass has decided, since he's already headed that way, to follow me down the hill.

I decided right there that I had probably used up any good luck I had coming for one day, & I should just turn it around at the first opportunity & stay safe at home. I knew that my driving skills would not be enough to overcome the collective power of all the dumbass drivers that come out to play hell every time Gnashville gets a little snow & ice.
