Another hazard to keep in mind during the California drought:

L.A. drivers forget that pavement is slippery when wet.
(So. Cal. freeway system on a rain soaked Tuesday morning commute, Sept. 15, 2015).

1. Oh, that's right....people forget.

It's like an inch of snow down here....cars all over the road and ditches and some just left parked in teh middle of the road.

2. True. I've seen that. I guess it's true anywhere you go.

4. I recall

Living in central valley, Modesto area and the first rain in the fall I would have to allow an extra half hour for a 20 mile drive just because there would be wrecks all over...

3. Roads are generally more slippery...

...during the first rain or snow because there is oil and dirt buildup that hasn't washed off yet.
