Here in Oregon, living on the slopes of Mt. Hood, I am very familiar with the different forms of ice on the roads. Some winters I deal with it on a daily basis. Here is how I define ice on the roads. First, there is freezing rain, which will show up very clearly on the roads. Studs and chains are effective on freezing rain. Second, there is black ice, which usually does not show up either in color change or a sheen on the pavement. Third, there is freezing fog, which is absolutely nasty. Freezing fog can be very spotty, and studs on the tires can be useless. Freezing fog is the slickest conditions for some reason. Learning the conditions, and compensating for changing conditions is extremely important around here. I drive fifteen miles to work every day, starting a 1485 elevation and ending up at sea level. I'm thankful to say that in twenty years of driving steep mountain roads, I've never had a problem. Two words of advise for everyone: first have good equipment and don't overdrive conditions.
