A sheet of ice - 377 feet.

During rain Saturday (rain began with 30F temperature) our driveway is described above.

Near midnight rain ended temperature climbed (45F) and water decreased.  We have an  uphill grade at the top and minor side slopes along the length of our exit to the main road.  Cold rain on ice transforms all 377 feet to side slope and upslope slipping hazards.  Walking is possible only near the snow banks.  Driving out yesterday was doubtful because ash and sand supplies inadequate.

Church called this morning and previous applications of sand at the top broke through.


 Praise the Lord and refill the sand buckets
