The CDC (Center for Deteriorating Conditions) has recommended you stay at home. As the temperature drops in to the lower 20's black ice will be wide spread making it very dangerous to travel unless you drive a sleigh powered by eight reindeer. We have been out hitting the high spots and will continue to monitor the roads. If you choose to leave any cookies and milk on your porch please post your address. Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas....RCRD
