Don't know how many accidents. In most cases they were very slow speed
(under 5 mph) and into snow banks, well, ice banks -- the snow that had
been cleared off the lot, then melted a bit. I was one of the first cars
into the ski area that day, and didn't venture back until late in the
day when everything was back to normal and they'd sanded the lots.

Plenty of "car angels" in the snow banks!

Nah, you just have hurricanes to worry about.
