ANYWHERE, North or South, knows how dangerous an inch of ice can be. It can take weeks to clean up and get back to anything approaching normal.

I hope everyone is staying safe, and looking out for their neighbors.

I am sick of the cycle we are enduring here: below zero, with double digit wind chills, followed by snow and blowing. It is endless. But it is better than putting up with ice.
