We have had fairly steady rain overnight and so far today.  I  measured 1.17 in. in my rain gauge this morning at 9 a.m.  The snow has taken a beating and I'm showing 5 1/2 in. at the stake.  So far we've had temperatures at or slightly above freezing, so there hasn't been icing; but I'm hearing all kinds of problems being reported on the scanner - calls to assist people who have gone off the road, trees down blocking traffic, high water warnings, and one call about someone who had fallen on the ice.  

There has been very little traffic by here this morning.  We lost our power for about half an hour around 6 a.m., but we feel fortunate we got it back so quickly.  We saw a FairPoint truck go by a little while ago - hard to believe they would be out on a Sunday.  The worst of the roads seems to be north of us in the Sheffield area.  I have checked the VTrans site and traffic is very light everywhere.  Click on the little camera icons on the map to see the web cam view.

We are still getting misty rain and fog, and the thermometer is reading 30 degrees on the cold side of the house, 33 on the deck and weather station thermometers.  The fog drifts over us and then moves off, but at times is quite dense.  People are wisely staying off the roads as much as possible, and the road crews are keeping up with the conditions.  They have been out all night and will be looking for a chance to rest, but they may not get much relief - the storm is moving, but slowly, so conditions and locations of problems will change.  Along with slippery roads, there are areas threatened with flooding, in our area, at the junction of Rt. 114, 122 and Rt. 5 in Lyndonville.  The high water threat will no doubt continue until temperatures drop and we return to winter conditions.
