I guess if I had to choose, I’d take snow over ice.

Having spent the day shoveling 1 ft + off the roof and using a chisel to remove ice dams from the gutters.

I live in South Jersey.It looks like we are going to get the ice. Rather drive on snow than ice.

Our driveway (length of football field and all downhill) has been nothing but ice for over a month. I put ice melt on it today as it got up to 50 degrees!!!

I think this coming storm is gonna be rain for us...thank goodness. I’m done with winter.

And forget about our roof. We are too old to do anything about it but pray.

Having been through both types, I'd take 18" of snow over an ice storm. It may take a few days to dig out from snow, but might take a week or longer to get power back from the ice storm..
