I got lucky last night, temps warmed up and a lot of it melted and reprove in places. Within minutes of getting home the roads were covered with snow.  Not that much but it hid where the ice was.  Glad I didn't have to drive on it. 

Not sure what Friday and Saturday is going to bring right now.  Lots of rain and temperature prediction keeps dropping, as of today it will be freezing.  This is when the power lines come down due to the weight of the ice onto he lines or tree limbs. 

Plenty of food, water, fuel, heat and security. 

Yup, ice storms are the worst.

We are supposed to get another shot of cold air tonight but the next storm on Saturday night will start as snow but change to sleet, freezing rain, then rain as the storm tracks right over CT. Temps are supposed to reach 40 degrees inland and 45 at the shore Sunday. After that it looks like back to more normal cold with highs in the mid to upper 20's Mon-Wed.

I hate those kind of storms. I just hope we don't get too much rain. It floods my barn, especially when the ground is frozen and there is all of this snow on the ground. Just nowhere for the water to go. I'd rather have more snow and let it melt slowly in the spring than that mess.
