Ice Storm!

Congratulations on the power restoration, Mudmucker. It looks like tomorrow will bring a lot of snow.
Bambu, I feel for you.
I found out why the fire trucks and ambulance were leaving my neighborhood last Friday. Someone got hit with a falling tree limb. I guess it's pretty serious. And people continued to walk by the part of the road that has all of these branches just dangling. In fact, on Saturday, the Harvard U. x country ski team was traversing the hill on roller skis, in between the debris and ice. And, they were careening down the hill, 4 abreast. Seriously stupid.

Bambu, is there any progress out your way yet? Can you get gas nearby for the generators?

House is warm. No cable-internet access, cable will not be repaired until Dec 26. Least of concerns. Sporadically I can grab some internet time out of the neighborhood. Right now I'm in an internet cafe next to a fireplace in a nice cushy easychair. Gotta leave, snow is piling up.

How about our Hoosier sisters? I think this latest ice storm is north of everyone on here? Pretty sure my ex-husband's family in northwestern Ohio is in the affected area though. It's definitely going to take resources away from the rebuilding in the northeast

More ice headed toward the Atlantic/East Coast....

The DC area is now expected to get hit, tonight into tomorrow morning. Not as bad as New England and other areas got it already.

Here's hoping for a January thaw that turns into an early spring.....

On that note, the Solstice is tomorrow which means for those of us with SADD, things are looking brighter.

Keep warm and safe.

We have about a foot of light, fluffy snow. I am itching to go x country skiing.
Unfortunately, tomorrow we are getting more snow, topped by some ice. My son is supposed to come for a Chanukah party and now he will have to take the train out to the burbs, since there is no way his little car will make it up the hill of ice.
It's 11.3 degrees out. I guess I will get to try out all of my new wool weenie stuff.

We're ok here- got about 9" last night. Supposed to get 6-8" more inches on Sunday. But 8" snowfalls are not uncommon around here, so everyone deals with it quite well, and the roads get well plowed and sanded.
But today will be a good snow cleanup break. No problems with the power lines.
It's 10F degrees out....time to bundle up and get shoveling!

This is just bizarre.
It's far too early for this.
