40. It is the ice that really gets us out here, for example

last wk we had a storm, dumped almost a foot in places. People drove for a day with temps around freezing, but ground was warmer so they compacted snow and it got slushy underneath. Then it froze. All those ruts turned into ice. I got stuck in a flat parkinglot, between a couple ruts, and I grew up in midwest and spent a bunch of time in AK. The ice is the problem. Not so much the snow but the ice. And the lack of snowplows. Yes, the main streets get plowed a bit and sanded, but driving on sanded rutted ice still is bad.
