I think I prefer the rain.
I hear you! The hill down from my house has about a 15% grade as it is going around a horseshoe turn. This doesn't mix well with ice. I didn't even leave the house on Monday. Tuesday was mostly OK, then more ice on Wednesday. I know the people who live in places that have actual winter are thinking, "Why don't you just get studded tires?" but for the two or three days a year that it drops below freezing I'm happy to just stay home.
Things have been much better the past two days and the extended forecast looks pretty good. I'm feeling much better about things now.
