This is what happens when you don't have asphalt /concrete this time of year. Mitch posted this. I was very happy when I went to asphalt. Too many days like this. That’s what our parking lot and road looks like. Just packed ice. It’s slickest when you get a little rainwater on top of that. Almost impossible to walk on... gotta hold onto your car while you slide around to the door lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily the snow that we just got fell before it froze too hard so it looks like it bonded pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cutters, no torches.. It takes a pretty unique setup to have that. Plus we had pack from Dec 6th until Xmas Eve. Pack wise it was pretty good. January just didn’t snow or do anything It was very odd to go so long without cutters or torches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models have the main pulse 10:00pm -4:00 AM. That’s when most of the damage and outages will come from with 50-60mph. A lot of people waking up overnight with posts about limbs on roofs etc. And one final pulse 50-55mph once the sun comes up tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a little bit of CAD on the front side of that cutter...you must have warm sectored a lot earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol yeah paved vs not paved aren't the only factors. Sounds like everyone on the forum needs some rock salt. Most local DPWs put out a pile of salt or sand for residents. My driveway is a thousand feet long reclaimed asphalt....I don't get many issues but I'm on a South facing hill so that helps big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
