This morning the outside temp. was about 27 degrees and hard surfaces were quite icy. The high temp. only reached 32 degrees today and it's now slowly falling again.
Interesting variations; we had 6" on our low deck and the lawn nearby both of which were below freezing through the storm. The upper gravel driveway had only 4" as it was not frozen. Down at the road, about 75' lower in elevation, there was only about 3" on the driveway.

I hate plowing an unfrozen gravel driveway, even with skid shoes on the blade one moves a lot of gravel.
