The dreadful winter storm that swept up from south Texas arrived here last night with a wet whimper. Mixtures of rain, sleet, and snow prevailed today, as you can see from this image here of a rain chain and precipitation around it.

The storm is leaving a dangerous combination of ice and slush on the roads and driveways, even after plowing and spreading anti-freeze compounds, as you can see from this image at Naskeag Point today:

Tomorrow is forecast to return to below freezing temperatures, which may mean plenty of black ice on the roads. This weather apparently is a payback for our mild January. (Brooklin, Maine)
