The usual January thaw will only take half of it, meaning it's nothing more than the Zamboni From The Sky. Just what I need, ice made smoother.
One step off the front porch and you're on all fours if you don't want to hurt yourself. I even asked a buddy who ice-climbs if he had an old & dead set of crampons he could spare as it's really that bad. If Mr. Sun ever obliges, I'll take pics.

After an assload of snow and several days with temperatures in the negative double digits, we've crept above freezing today with rain in the forecast. It's gonna be really sloppy, but at least it is ~40 degrees warmer than it was just a few days ago!

I had to abandon my car in a private parking lot and walk the rest of the way home after sitting two hours in traffic to move about a mile. One of the hills preceding my house turned to ice and that was all she wrote. The traffic was too snarled for anything to be done to treat the road at that point.
