I noticed yesterday that the 2 big reservoirs below my house are full for the first time since September 2024. One of them even had the overflow open with a trickle happening.
-
Can I hope for above avg overnight temps? It's ok for daytime temps to be a bit on the low side because *sun angle* helps keep the house warm so the heat doesn't run as much. I'd like it if I don't have to get another oil delivery before the cold season ends.

Do you own a home heating oil company?

My driveway is a half inch thick clear water ice I'm afraid to move a car, if it starts to slide it may not stop until it hits something down the hill because the street below the driveway is that same ice sheet. Those bags of sand and salt I got a few days ago are gonna get much lighter soon.

How did you get off so easy on the ice? Damn. I'm easily at .3-.4 and hovering around freezing all day with dense freezing fog now at 32. Where? No they suck, especially above about 500 feet.

OMG what a mess. I got as high as 33 but the precip never stopped and the ice kept accepting. It's been freezing mist for the last hour now and the whole neighborhood is a sheet of ice except where they salted, that's just slushy mush piles and wet. Now it's raining again and the temp is creeping down- 475 replies

25/25/SN back to snow with tiny flakes here after a mix of big flakes and sleet for an hour and change. This is some dense shit Gonna suck to push out of the way before the rain makes it even heavier.- 475 replies

25/24/SE2/SN Everything is covered nicely and it's snowing but the flake size has been very small so it's taking its time accumulating although that's starting to change.- 475 replies

So for Thursday, this is snow to start but will change to rain? How far north are we thinking the rain makes it? I have a significant road trip and am hoping to get an idea of what to expect for the drive home (from Chicago) Thursday overnight.

I stayed snow longer than the rest of you by being further east so I was well over 4", probably close to 6, before the sleet. By the time I went out at 6:15 it was 4 and compressing quickly. I did a quick pass with the shovel, cleaned the car and left with 80% of the driveway untouched. I'm betting it's gonna be a frozen disaster when I get home tonight.

I thought it was over after a few hours of questionable precip types. It started snowing again but still tiny flakes.
