How are the roads / sidewalks?


The NWS has ended the Winter Weather Advisory for our area this morning.  There was very little precipitation and temps are now above freezing.  There may still be slick spots, so be careful out there.


Thanks, Max!  From our own quick super-local check, our steps are slick, but the driveway and sidewalk at our house seemed OK.
