12/14/2008: "Ice On the Roads"

Be careful out there, reports coming in of trucks and cars sliding off of the road. As the snow is compressed by traffic, it quickly becomes ice. Some of the roads have small markers on white posts that turn blue when the tempture falls to below freezing (photo above). Watch out for those shaded portions on any of the road that can stay iced even after the sun comes out.

The Big Storm passed us by, but an inch or two dropped to remind us it is in fact winter. Depending on who is predicting, we have a 70% chance of more snow today, but there seems to be a consensus the first part of the week will be snow less, but by Wednesday one forecast shows "Snow Likely", with a low of 24 F.
