The car had skidded on the ice and turned 90º. No-one was hurt, and the driver of a car the other side was preparing to drag it clear. As I got my camera out I could hear a siren in the distance. I had time to grab one shot before the police car arrived.
By the time I'd negotiated a route bypassing the blockage the car had been put back on course and was driving - gingerly - away.

But how can you cycle on that icy road? We cannot walk safely here, even with trekking poles. The car hasn't left the garage. Indeed, I don't think it would get very far as the drive is still thick with snow.
H.S.
I take it carefully, finding the grip. I didn't think you got extremes of weather where you are! I have to drive tomorrow for the first time in a couple of weeks. Not sure where I'm going to park. I know the bike would be quicker!
You are a stoic soul, Halfie. I haven't ridden my bike for a couple of weeks now. It's been way too icy on the busy cycle paths in Rotterdam, and as we have to share them with reckless and irresponsible scooter and moped riders, I just don't risk it. Still, these pretty lanes might tempt me! Lovely scenes indeed.
Yes, the well-used roads soon cleared of ice, but the worst routes for cycling were the cycle paths. (Not that we have as many over here as you do, VallyP.)
