Of course had to show the obligatory shot of the driveway and if you look closely you will see there's no tire tracks on the road. I wonder why? Not, I know why! It's damn slippery out there!

The temperature is just above freezing right now so any pressure on the snow and ice causes a thin layer to turn back to water, that's what causes compacted snow and ice to be so slippery. When you have cold enough temperatures this doesn't happen, unless you have very high surface loading... like ice skates.
