We're supposed to have decent weather for the next week or so... may even get above freezing!
Oh, that transitional period is what I hate the most. If it just stays below freezing all the time, old snow and ice stay put and don't bother anyone. When it's just warm enough to melt in the daytime, it starts getting wet everywhere again, then after it re-freezes overnight, there's fresh, smooth ice waiting around every corner.
