Ice is way worse than snow, no matter where it is. But especially places that aren't used to it.
That storm is dumping some snow on us right now. Luckily, if you can say that, our temps have been in the single digits so it's all snow. We've been having very bad cold - wind chills like -15F. It's hard to keep the house warm with that going on. Very bad for homeless people too. This is a brutal winter for sure. We have about a 1 foot base layer of snow but we had so much ice and freezing rain fall that it's all hard and slippery. This little 6ish inches will add a nice clean soft layer to the top. Only bad thing is Fenris had to drive in it to work today :/
Everyone stay safe and warm!
