CHAMPAIGN – Monday morning's icing of city streets might not have been the perfect storm. But it was a perfectly timed storm to create havoc for Champaign-Urbana drivers, coming shortly after 6 a.m.
Carlos Cobb of Champaign was among those slip-sliding along unsalted residential streets. He said he slid off icy streets three times Monday morning into people's yards in the Parkland Ridge subdivision, near Parkland College.
"The whole road was a sheet of ice," Cobb said. "In that neighborhood, I don't know how people got around. It took me 15 minutes to get out of the subdivision."
