Keep in mind that this was some of the first rain we've had in a month or so.  Over that time, the roads get VERY oily in the center.  When the rains finally come, it washes that oil into the tire groove areas - making it waaaay slicker than roads after a normal rain.  It's not you - you just have to be a little more careful. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I learned this when I used to live in Phoenix - every time it would rain, the roads would be treacherous after XX number of dry days.
