This is the way I like it. We have been fortunate so far this year in the line of winter weather. We had some freezing rain last night, but then till morning it had warmed up and the roadways were only wet. This afternoon we had a small amount of freezing rain, then it stopped. A handful at a time is just fine and dandy as far as I am concerned. Since my Wife and I headed out to work this morning just before 6am, and I was indeed grateful for the "non-icy" road conditions.
