Long range forecast is for an ice storm coming in Sunday night through Monday evening. Snow sleet and freezing rain. Better all move any snow while you can.

This is good information to know!

I got the old roof rake out yesterday and got most of the snow off my roof. I was surprised as to how much snow there was on my roof. It took me @ 5 hours to get most of it off because it had layers of compacted snow.

Now with the ice storm coming atleast it won't put another layer on top of what was there.

What forecast are you looking at? All forecasts I'm seeing have it much too warm for any frozen precip. Just a good old late January monsoon.

Sucks for us Winter lovers, but at least corollaman wiill be happy...

I thought about this after I posted. A good way to make a liar out of yourself is to post a weather forecast you heard. In my case Accuweather.com

Accuweather is almost NEVER right. I remember they forcasted a major, damaging ice storm for the day after Christmas, and it just did a light coating, then changed to all rain. I go to WMUR or weather.com. They're saying rain on weather.com, and wmur says a mix changing to rain.

Looks to be a nice soaking rain, temps in the 40's. It could be frozen (sleet/freezing rain) when it starts, but I don't think the cold air will be able to hold on very long.

Although the daytime temps. look to be in the low 40s, the evening temps of 19-24 degrees could change rain to sleet and freezing rain. The rain could have changed Sam's snow on the roof to ice slabs and then when achange over occurred it could layer a few more inches ontop. Better to be safe than sorry.

I just don't want the lake to get all slushy. It makes for miserable fishing and walking around. The atv's and sleds also hate it.
