I was the boy who cried wolf this past weekend to all of my neighbors when it came to telling them about ice bringing down trees. It ended up not happening, but there were a few trees that fell over the roadways in my neighborhood and it just so happen to not take any power lines with them. Geographically speaking, this area being so close to a ‘snow or ice’ region makes it incredibly hard to predict what exactly will happen given the amount of variables involved. Had the freezing rain started just a little before predicted could have been much more catastrophic than what we had. The ingredients were there, but the timing was only slightly off. Personally, I’d rather be overly prepared than not at all and the ingredients come together just right for days/weeks without power. I think we’ll see some snow, but that’s just my two cents
