Rain in Merrimack, no snow. Roads were icy this morning, but they melted away because of 40 degree weather. We now go to Ollie Williams for the black-u-weather forecast.
last night on the way home, no ice but huge puddles. car slightly in front of me on the lane to my right hits a puddle, hydroplanes and starts to spin, misses my car by inches and creams the car behind me. about 10 cars i could see behind me all stopped.

Same thing happened to me on the way home from PVD. Guy flys past me on 95 and then must have hit a puddle. Hydoplaned to the left, his the middle barrier, then slid across the lanes into the right barrier and stopped. I basically just took my foot off the gas and crossed my fingers that he wouldn't start spinning into me.
This was the view from my bedroom window that morning. It got so much worse since people coming down the hill just slid into the accident until the idiot police in my city decided it would be a swell idea to close the street.
It was like that Youtube video that surfaced a couple years ago where people were just sliding around a snowy road and smashing into parked cars.
