Slippery Situation

It rained all day yesterday in the valley. The upside to that was some of the snow from recent storms melted. The down side is that it created a thick layer of ice over porches, decks, walkways and driveways. It is a very treacherous situation! From the reports that I have gotten WV road is fine (the town trucks have been up and down several times) but I haven't been out myself to check.

It is sunny in the valley today and the temperatures are in the high 30's. The sun and the warmer air are combining to melt more of the snow and ice so even if you have salted and sanded today be careful because with the additional water you might have to do it again. And be sure to wear your crampons or ice trends when you venture outside. If you don't have them I know that Marieta at Morne Imports in Phoenicia has some. Be careful walking!!
