The weather call for work was nightmarish for everyone. In my area we can get 8-12 (I thought I heard 16 inches as a max!?) worth of snow, but sleet and freezing rain mixed in could drive actual accumulation down. That's a recipe for maximum ice, so this is one of those least-desired winter events for transportation and transit agencies.
My boss was all hopeful because it was warm this weekend, so he's thinking maybe the ground won't get cold enough to let anything stick...but if we are getting 8 inches of frozen/freezing stuff, the roads will be brute-forced below freezing point by the first half of the storm (which will also wash away pre-treatment) and then it's gonna be just delightful after that.
