Hi @velimir
I liked how you described 3 possible options for action ....
We always have three options really. In this very case, we can cross it, even though we don't know how deep it is or unsure if we'll wet our feet; we can turn around and find another way or we can just sit and wait until it evaporates.
The difference of people from each other is precisely that everyone chooses his own version and everyone expects his final result. Someone will get it and some do not :)
Sometimes we have the choice to turn around, because there is no acute need to go in this direction. But often in my life there are moments when there is no way back :) forward and only forward.
The sunny weather returned to you, but judging by the frozen road, it's a deceptive sun. Usually for such a case there is folk wisdom - "if the sun shines in the winter, then it will be frost"
Have a nice day and good road
