White ice is fine.....we put it in our drinks....skate on it....it looks cool hanging from the eaves.

A busload of nuns, orphans, and puppies goes off the side of a cliff....the cause....black ice.

Am I reading into this too much....or maybe just stirring it up?

Called black ice because it is an icing condition where you never see the ice. Black road shows through it like it is not there. Thin moisture layer on it makes it clear.

Many other roads in that area that are just as fun. And not as crowded.
