Today will be nice and calm. Rather pleasant. Tomorrow maybe not quite so nice but be ready for Wednesday and Thursday. They could be as far from pleasant and nice as possible. Right now it does look as if Winter Storm Olive is going to be presenting us with ice. And it could amount to a lot of ice. I’d much rather see us in the snow belt of this storm, and things may change should the storm pattern shifts, but for now it doesn’t look as if we’re going to be that fortunate. Keep an eye on the forecast and be ready. If, indeed, we do get the ice part here, do stay off the roads. There is NO skill involved in driving on ice. No tires created to keep you safe on ice. There is only luck and not very many of us are lucky enough to escape damage to our vehicles or even to ourselves. Be smart. Be careful. Be alert.
