Winter, ice, mess!
Who else? With most of the country in some event of extreme cold/wet/snow/ice, etc.
A few days here of non stop generator use and trees raining down on streets, cars, wires, and houses from the weight of ice for 2 days building. Then finding gas stations that actually had power and gas to pump for generator life juice. Lines 40-50 cars that the hope of getting gas for the folks toward mid to rear line would get gas before station went dry, argh..
For 2 days, a minute did not go by that a crashing of branches was not in ear shot.

We did not get the snow that was predicted but we did get ice rain. It was raining yesterday at 30 degrees. Don't think I can ever remember that before.
New storm coming by Wednesday night and they predict 5-10. Hope they are wrong. Pretty cold here tonight, going down to 13* F.

Not bad here
We had some freezing rain turning to rain so a bit slippery but not bad. We’ve had a warm, climate change winter - ice thin all over the state. I hope we get snow at the end of the week as I’m enjoying snowshoeing in the woods. I no longer maintain the trails so it’s a pretty good obstacle course.

Just ordinary Vermont here, which is to say cold, snowy, icy, dark and largely loathsome, but hey, it's Vermont, which means also that we have power and snow tires.
