I disagree. I'd rather have snow than ice. Look at the DC area, last week. It was the rain turned ice, that caused problems. I can drive in snow. Ice, it gets dicey. Also, its the ice storms that knock down the power lines. I remember being in Frankfurt Germany in the late 70's. A thin sheet of ice shut that city down. It was less than an 1/8 inch thick.
We are suppose to get ice here, then snow. Also 30 mph winds. I hope to have the Jeep Cherokee road worthy tonight.
