Well, we didn't go anywhere on Monday or Tuesday, so it is virgin ice/stuff for hundreds of feet before
we hit any kind of road from where our cars are parked. It has gone to 38 degrees or so on
Tuesday and Wednesday, causing the bottom layer to melt, and it refreezes at night. We only have
one inch or so of frost-depth here in SC, but the ground freezes at night too. I tried to
get out with the Mini yesterday (Wednesday) but it got stuck right away, I had to hoe out channels
for the wheels just to back it back to where it should be. Today I'll see if the truck will go in this
stuff... the roads are all clear once you get out to
the real world... I guess people who are used
to this have enough sense to "clear the driveway" before it freezes into a block of ice?
