More people die from black ice and minimal icing than any other winter event. Emphasis should be redirected to road sensors and automatic warning systems
My south roof is cleaned out after I roof raked. North roof is an ice dam. I raked it and there are open spots but time for the nylons filled with rock salt. I do have ice snow protection layers under the new roof.
I remember that storm. Lots of ice in Westerly RI where I lived. Was supposed to be a foot of snow. Of course a week later I was buried in 18 hours with 22 inches of pure powder with 60 mph winds
