ellyssianWhich means I was up for work! =)
It was a nice morning, but before long (before 9am, to be specific), it turned to rain.
I still had 4.25 in. of snow at all my client sites. Probably more in my own drive, but I didn't bother measuring there.
After I had finished up, I ran by the CU to deposit some checks, and the roads up to that area were fine, but the side roads up on the hill looked like well-groomed skating rinks. Didn't notice any slippage, but on those roads, better safe then sorry, so the chains went on for that.
Actually, the main roads were fine with 2WD even, but the back roads felt safer with 4WD.
While doing the first pass down the road at the LGNC, I rolled a nice snow boulder in front of the highest driveway on the hill, so I made a few extra passes to clear the openings at the drives and side roads. Found out that, in real slippery conditions, the chains might not grab as quick as I'd like when I'm doing a lot of short-distance back and forth. Makes sense ~ with a longer run in either direction, the centrifugal force gets the chains out there. Stop & go that is more stop than go doesn't give it a chance. No big problems, though, and I was never in a position to worry.
