Once it changes to freezing rain, I expect some ice build up here. Could get very slippery on the roads and sidewalks, hence EC's freezing rain warning.

SWS would of been fine for sure. They probably thought it wasn't worth it I guessVanCitySouth wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 5:49 pm Yenno what, I see your point. But I still think SWS was absolutely 100% necessary.
