All of this. It just happened to me a short time ago.

cmyx6go , I'm glad you're ok!! Sudden weather changes can be scary AND UBER Dangerous!

I don't know if you did this but I highly recommend putting on your hazards as soon as you see any road anomaly and give a medium-hard brake to give yourself distance to what's in front while managing and warning the traffic behind. Whenever I've had passengers and something like this occurs and I react as described above they always tell me that they will adopt the practice. I've been doing it since someone plowed into the back of me in traffic years ago and except for a texting idiot plowing into the back of the i8, it's always worked.

Cheers-mk
