Traffic volume was heavier this morning after yesterday's holiday.  The Massachusetts roadways were mainly wet, but ice was a problem well north of town and in New Hampshire.  We had some crashes, but nothing that appeared to be weather-related.  We kept our eyes on traffic coming from New Hampshire, but many schools there were opening one or two hours late, which made for lighter volume on Route 93, 95 and Route 3. 

Some commuters needed extra time to scrape the ice off their cars this morning.  I imagine pedestrians had some trouble navigating icy walkways, too.  There's nothing quite like slipping on an icy driveway at 6 AM to wake you up!  Some say it's better than coffee.

Tomorrow, we are going to be in for a very cold blast, and we are expecting many cold-weather related breakdowns.  Make sure that you are prepared in the event of a breakdown.   Have a warm blanket in your trunk and make sure your cell phone is fully charged before you head out the door.
