Today is going to be the best we get for a while. Tomorrow and Thursday aren’t going to be nearly as accommodating. Winter Storm Olive is going to be swinging through leaving us with snow, ice, sleet…nothing good. The best scenario would be for snow. As of now, it doesn’t look like that band of ice is going to slide south far enough to leave us out of the mix. Just do be careful. Depending on how much of the ice feature we get, be prepared for power outages. And do make the decision to stay home if it all looks to be coming at us in force. You don’t want to get stuck someplace you don’t want to be spending all your time should you be unable to get back home. And I don’t know about you, but even at my best job, I never got paid enough to risk crashing my car trying to drive on ice. it’s foolhardy to even think you’ll be good at it. Nobody is. Ice always wins. Every single time.
