Freezing Rain For Commute?

Less than an inch of snow later this afternoon could change over to freezing rain during the evening commute, National Weather Service forecasters said. An incoming Pacific storm is carrying milder air with it, but cold air in place over the Inland Northwest could result in snow and a mix of precipitation for several hours today. A hazardous weather outlook is in place for Spokane and Coeur d’Alene. A more serious winter weather advisory for snow is posted for areas to the north and west of both cities. The chance of snow and freezing rain is 80 percent today with a 90 percent chance of freezing rain and rain this evening with little or no accumulation of ice/Spokesman-Review.

Question: Any near misses this winter -- behind the wheel or while walking on ice?
