From our last light snow that covered our roads, everyone is aware of how dangerous even a light amount causes serious driving issues. Those issues worsen the more vehicles pack it down to where it's just ice.
You've noticed the plastic tubs with "ACA HOA" on them....those are salt boxes and if you hit a bad area, you can use that salt to help treat it. NOTE: it's good to have a hammer or something to break up the salt chunks as they can sometimes get hefty. As well, I keep a bag of salt in my car, along with boots in case I have to walk if stranded.
Weather-wise, today we have a wind advisory from 6p to 12am for potentially damaging winds above 3500' (upper Apple Creek Acres). A strong cold front will be blasting through, so heads up for a potential power outage.
And then....the good stuff!
Our chances are excellent for a white Christmas, with snow starting Christmas Eve afternoon. At this time, it's too early for any advisories or watches or certainly amounts, but preliminary indications have been running 2-4". I will update in a couple of days as that time frame approaches.
