Side-by-side comparison of two side mirrors reflecting a red tru…

I drove this road earlier in the day (when it was colder) with no trouble. But now that it's warming up (to about 33F), it's VERY slick. As I came around the bend and saw this wrecker, the car in the ditch, and a Ranger stopped by the road (IDK if he was stuck, or just trying to block for the wrecker), just letting off the gas put me into a slide. The driver waved me through, but as I passed him, I recognized him, and he asked me to anchor his truck because it kept sliding toward the stuck car.

So these pics were while he was pulling the car out with my chain holding his truck in-place, and it DID get tight. When he got the car on the road, I still had to tow them up the small hill before he could move on his own. I left him to finish with the car.
