unsinkable Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 NO! Never! I will take snow over freezing rain or any time it rains when it's under about 55 F. And we got a half foot of snow last night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 I will take snow over freezing rain Right?!!!! I know exactly what's going to happen. It's going to be freezing cold rain in the forecast and then one day it will be 100 deg and 100% humidity. Always extreme..... UGH!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yes, as long as I don't lose power! I still have snow piles, and I don't want any added to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennynd Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Freezing rain? I will still drive to work with 6 inch snow coming down, I will not go anywhere with half inch freezing rain. They are the worst. Although I love that it makes the tree look so sparkly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Freezing rain makes roads more dangerous than snow does, usually, and if there is enough accumulation in an area with trees, it will bring down power lines. I vote snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Freezing rain is much more dangerous and damaging than snow. We had half an inch of the nasty stuff about three weeks ago, and it will be months before all the fallen limbs and downed trees are cleaned up. Many people were w/o power for days. Businesses couldn't open, restaurants lost thousands of dollars of food. Some roads were impassable for days because of all the downed trees. Snow is much less evil. And it's prettier. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of pine trees ( like 50+ ) on our property and I am pretty sure each one lost 3-6 huge branches. It was sad and we were out of power for about 48 hours. Ice storms are not something to mess around with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian summer Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I much prefer snow over freezing rain. It's been freezing raining here all day and I cannot wait for it to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose in BC Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I will take any amount of snow (and I live in an area where it can snow 110 cm in 24 hours) over freezing rain. Any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 only if you want to slip and slide on your road/sidewalks, etc. oh - and have everything encased in ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenade Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'll happily take freezing rain. I'd much rather have to spread some sand than pay to have our road plowed every time it snows, twice if it's a doozy. Edited to take out the $ amount. It's depressing.Eh, until it freezes on trees and they break onto power lines and you lose power for days and days.I will take snow and sleet over freezing rain any day. We just recently lost power for 3 days due to freezing rain. Not fun. Especially when you have no water because the well pump requires electricity.

There are still piles of tree branches along roadsides waiting for crews to pick them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenade Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well that's what we'd call an ice storm and not just freezing rain. Obviously, I'd prefer snow to an ice storm. We woke to freezing rain this morning. There's a coating of ice on everything, even had to chisel the car door open this morning before driving the kids 10 miles away to school. Still glad it wasn't more snow.An ice storm is caused by freezing rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I MUCH prefer snow to freezing rain! Here, snow in moderation is an inconvenience, freezing rain in any quantity is dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
