   @gemlog We were not prepared foe what this winter had to offer. It's been 1C at most all week and the mostly sleet that fell turned to ice and is still on secondary roads. The road crews have mostly abandoned salt for special melting compounds because salt quits melting at about -10C and nights have been closer to -15C

     @gemlog I have been using a farm shovel to literally bash chunks of ice off of my driveway when it looks like it's under 10 mm thick for the last 2 days. The neighbor was trying to use a spade and flimsy snow shovel for her sidewalk so I walked over to loan it to her and fell on my ass because the yards are all ice too! :)

     @gemlog I have no idea. They're calling for more snow this weekend from Georgia to southern Maryland.

     So far they're saying 5-10 cm here but at least this time there's no chance of any mix of sleet or freezing rain in there because it'll be below freezing all the way down to the ground. Also there's an extreme cold watch Saturday night to Sunday morning for wind chills under -20C.

     At least from Monday on, the highs are going to be 2-5C so things can start melting
