I left work at 9pm, and got home at midnight.

There were probably several accidents I avoided just because the car in front of me couldn't stop either.

My first choice route to get to my home had a stuck bus at the top of the hill. I backed down (briefly getting stuck within 2 feet of a stopped car, worried that if I let off the brakes, I'd hit them no matter which way the wheels were turning), and tried a couple of other approaches. Each time, it was too slick. Once I slid back down to the bottom of the hill sideways, after losing grip during a U-turn. Once I lightly hit the median curb. Finally, I drove back out of the city, and came in on a different road.

When back in my neighborhood, I parked as far downhill as was available.
