Not much more than 5" at my place in Meredith. High forties at the end of next week. I think I'll just leave the snowblower in the barn for this one...

High tomorrow is 40 with rain but look at the lows, 20's then teens, then single numbers. All that snow will absorbe the rain then be solid ice.
Good luck with it.

Default snow cover.

It is best to have a couple of inches of snow on the pavement when the rain freezes on Sunday. It will be easier to scoop up rather than trying to break ice.

Dirt driveway already snow covered so I'm going to have ice either way. I won't need luck but I will need studded boots. Thank you for your concern.

I’ve had a situation where I could not plow a customer’s driveway. We only got about 2 inches of snow so they did not want it plowed, then a warm day then freezing cold nights followed. I asked if they wanted me to sand it after it froze and they declined. 3 days later we got about 6” of snow and I could not get my truck up the driveway to plow it.
They had to find someone with a snow blower to remove the snow then they sanded it.
It cost them more in the end then if they had it plowed originally.
I usually don’t go out for 2 inches unless requested. But I always watch the temps to see what will happen if the snow is left unchecked. If I see what I believe will be a situation, I make a call and ask how they want to proceed.
Sometimes your damned if you do damned if you don’t.
I still take care of snow removal for the person mentioned above and they are very happy with the work.

I got a foot of wet & heavy to clear Thursday morning! Fortunatly it set up just right for me to finish the job Friday morning, before work. I was worried it would become too hard.
