This is our house today! And while it looks like lovely, soft, crunchy snow, what this white stuff is is ICE. There's a layer of ice over whatever snow there is, and it's very slippery! And I don't think the photo adequately shows the steepness of our drive--we've got one of the steepest driveways in the neighborhood. We're not leaving the house today. Possibly not even tomorrow.

On the bright side, you can see that our attic is well-insulated since there's no melted patches on our roof!
