Lexington, Mass to Nashua NH - Freezing rain - the roads and driveway were literally ice, about 1/8" early AM. My road: started at 15mph, slammed on the brakes to check conditions: ABS took over and never let up for a good 60-foot glide down the road!

Main roads were treated, secondary untreated roads were impossible (a-la 15 mph tops)

About 20 minutes south of Lexington it was still freezing rain. I slipped when I stepped out the door this morning, that one hurt, and I got a wicked bruise. From inside it looked like the ground was just wet. Talk about black ice! Still out there for the most part since it was only in the mid 30s today.

got home tonight, all the sand I put on the ice had submurged into deeper ice. Be careful ye skiers and boarders. Last thing you need is an at-home accident to interfere with your mountain plans. I swear, sometimes it's more dangerous to stay home!

Snowed this morning in Plymouth but the ground and car had signs of mixed precip when I left work. I suspect mountains at elevation north of Plymouth probably got mostly if not all snow.
