Got a 10pm robocall from local police telling us to stay off the roads due to icing.
The big pines all are ice-dipped, so to speak.
We escaped the worst for sure. I am regretting that I didn't get the snow shoveled before the light rain. Got started and gave up. Snow slush mix was like wet cement.
Hopefully the March sun 🌞 will help.

Stay well and shovel prudently.
Glad you got supplies.
Hope those big ol' Maine rivers don't rise up too much...
And the clean-up winds out of the N/NW
don't start until the ice is off the trees.
