I will start with a disclaimer that I just moved here and am quite ignorant of black ice. Forgive me if this is a foolish set of questions.
So I had a co-worker pretty much scare the shit out of me on Friday talking about black ice. I commute from PT to Sequim. He asked when I was getting my winter tires put on. I asked what he was talking about. He gasped and said, "You don't know about black ice?" Well I had heard of it in Maine but it's not really a problem there with all the salting they do on the roads.
1) Is black ice a serious issue out here on the OP?
2) What are the ways to avoid it?
3) Can a certain tire really provide traction on ice? (assuming there are not metal studs)
4) Are there certain places to look for it?
5) Are there certain weather patterns that lead to it?
6) Anything else you can add to keep me up at night worried about black ice...
Much thanks.
