Arctic Blitz 2007/Ice Storm/whatever it's called in your area ??

[Livia]

Things are looking bad for us right now - today was a holiday, but my boss just called me and said not to risk coming in tomorrow morning if it's icy, which it looks like it will be....the temp right now is 32, and it's gonna get lower overnight and thru Wed. Sleet and freezing rain on the way and possibly snow!!

I haven't gotten out of my jammies/sweats all weekend. I've got 3 fire logs left and I'm gonna save those in case I lose power...drinking lots of hot tea and just tryin' to keep warm.

What's going on in your neck of the woods? Stay safe, everyone!

What's going on in your neck of the woods? Stay safe, everyone!

There is an estimated 225,000 Oklahomans who have lost their electric, and still 122,000 without it at this time (7 people on the way from Arizona to North Carolina, died not far from here when their minivan skidded on ice, crossed the interstate median and was hit head-on by a semi-truck).

My hometown Muskogee was pounded by the ice, up to 4" (!!!) of it and the whole town lost power for a time over the weekend (Still 9,900 left in Muskogee without electricity). McAlester suffered the same fate, and is still without electricity.

The temp here is about 25 and will dip to 7 tonight, with windchills way below 0 (trust me, I was out in it today and it feels MUCH COLDER than the temperature makes it appear to be). Tomorrow night it will be even colder.

Sadly, the 6 PM news says another possible ice storm could be shaping up for this weekend (Which could be worse than the 1"-2" ice/sleet we received this weekend)...At least Deb is off this weekend so she wont have to stay the night over at the hospital as she did this weekend (We live 45 miles away from the hospital, and when the weather is bad I drive Deb to work & she stays over in patient rooms saved for employees during inclement weather.)

I can drive in the ice/snow/whatever, so I have no problems as others do...Hell, I was doing between 50-55 MPH today when most people in SUV's/pickups/hay bailers were driving about 30-40 MPH ( The only time you will see me driving faster than anyone is in winter weather...I am not intimidated by it.)

As long as I wont have to do anymore transmission work in the ice/sleet like yesterday I am happy (Thank God my Dad was an auto-mechanic of a higher caliber)

[markolas]

My workplace doesn't observe MLK, but we did close because of the ice. Looks like we may be closed tomorrow, too. I've basically just been playing Sims 2 all day...though tomorrow I'll probably be bored as hell.

[amber]

We're freezing too, California's farmers fear for the crops, etc. etc. It has been in the forties in the day, and late 20's/30's at night. Brrrrrrr!!!!

[gldstwmn]

17 degrees here with intermitent snow and just plain frozen.

It was 80 degrees in Savannah, GA today...had the A/C cranking! :nod: Too freakin' HOT! Can anyone say "Global Warming" ? :distress: </center>

[ryan8472]

So far it's only raining here. And I'm praying that that's it. This weather had BETTER not disrupt my glorious return to college! :p

[sara1998]

Rain, rain, rain. I'm so sorry for the other states, but I'm glad we didn't get hit with it. Light flurries in the forecast for tonight, but that's about it.

[goldustsongbird]

I woke up to freezing rain and a bunch of snow...

[JazmenFlowers]

of course our meteorologists are going apeshizzz over any possible exciting weather news. so far, just rain.

[Livia]

It was 70 degrees here last week. I was running errands Friday nite without a jacket, and wearing sandals!

All the schools are closed tomorrow, including UT, which almost never happens. They're calling it a "conveyor belt of moisture," coming in over Mexico, until tomorrow evening. Since I'm gonna be cooped up another day, I wouldn't mind seeing some snow!

[macfanken]

It's been the winter from hell here... we've had a major storm almost every week. In November we had the rainiest month ever recorded, in December we had a snow storm and then the worst wind/rain storm in 10 years... leaving over a million people in the seattle area without power. Last week we had another major snow storm... the temps have been in the 20s ever since... today is the first day above freezing in 4 or 5 days. I think this is the same storm that is causing problems in the rest of the country right now. Weird weather.

[DavidMn]

We got about 7 inches of snow yesterday. And it's cold as hell right now! ABout -5 Fahrenheit!

[sara1998]

Well, so far, we have a dusting. It's still snowing, but they aren't predicting anything major. I had to bundle Sara up for the first time this winter. It's about 25 deg. with the wind chill around 15 deg.

[Livia]

Looks like tonight and tomorrow may be a little worse than last night and today. With our low temps, the roads (not just bridges and overpasses) are now getting ice accumulation, and the freezing rain/sleet isn't gonna stop until around noon tomorrow, so they say. We may get some snow overnight too. I'm getting cabin fever! I did go outside and walk around the neighborhood this morning, just after the really big snowflakes were falling, which was pretty, but it switched back to sleet after a few minutes.

No call from the boss today re: work tomorrow, but I'm assuming the same rules still apply, and I'll be staying home again.

[estranged4life]

between 3"-6" of snow on Saturday/Sunday, So winter continues here in OK (Thank God it is cloudy outside at this time or the temp would get very close to 0 tonight...Ah Oklahoma, near 0 in the winter, about 110 in the summer - Gotta love it!!!)

I feel for those 92,000 who are still without power at this time.

[DrummerDeanna]

It's been f**king COLD here. Right now it's -8 with a dewpoint of -26 :eek:

it is crappy here too, we had a 2 day snow storm over sat & sunday & thank goodness monday was a holiday, only half of my daycare kids showed up, it is 8 below:distress: here wednesday morning, but is posta warm to 25*

[wondergirl9847]

It is sneeting (snow/sleet) here today!! My mom woke me up at 7:40AM to tell me and it had already come down pretty heavy. Had to get up and take pictures/video. Hey, I live in Texas folks...this is rare. :laugh:

I really feel for all the people who are without power. It SUCKS to not have power. :( Everyone stay warm and safe out there!

[markolas]

I am off work for the third day in a row due to this ice business. I am so ****ing bored right now. I may walk to Target.

[JazmenFlowers]

Tarzay! I love that effin store.

we have gotten not a damn drop. to the north and south of us are getting some, but we haven't. they say it may sleet some today, but I don't think it will. I'm so pissed. I want some days off work! :lol:

[SuzeQuze]

We didn't get the ice, it was supposed to come Tuesday but it missed us. Today it is 11 here in Boston. The ocean partially froze over night.

[BTFLCHLD]

All I know is I live in California and it is as cold as witches tits here. For the past three nights I have worn two pairs of pjs and socks. :p

[estranged4life]

there were some snow flurries this morning, and again it is cloudy outside (Thank God for that).

The sleet on the ground this weekend has turned into a "hard ice-rink" like setting. It very slippery just going out to retrieve the mail from the mailbox (I used the rake and cross-patterned a path to the mailbox & to the trashbin to avoid either Debbie or myself biting the wenie on the ice)

The weather forecast keeps changing because the latest (Before the upcoming Noon broadcasts) is that this coming weekend will be worse than last weekend...God I love winter!!! :nod:

[Livia]

Just heard that 6000 people here are without power due to more ice accumulation on trees over power lines. I flipped when I saw the tree in my front yard this morning - yesterday, the ice was just on the tops of the branches - now they are fully encased in ice. Icicles around my roof are longer today and there appears to be ice on my driveway, yesterday it was just wet. I'm gonna bundle up and check out the neighborhood again, and then take a nice, hot bath!

Our temp is supposed to get above freezing today...we'll see....

a friend of mine told me that the only thing in Austin that was open was Wal-Mart..."even Starbucks is closed"

and I thought of you. take care!

[estranged4life]

just showed a stat that there is still 90,000 people in Oklahoma today without power, Most in the rural districts will be without power for the coming weeks (Some could possibly be without power for months, as was the case during the 2002 ice storm).

I feel for those folks, 'cause this approaching storm front (Which is over Los Angeles at this moment) this weekend will dump between 5"-10" of snow onto the already frozen ground.

It will be awhile before anything thaws out in these here parts...Just think, in a couple of months it will be tornado season.

[BTFLCHLD]

Ciold huh? What's that? 50?:laugh: upper 30s and mid 40s...and yes I am freezing. I have turned to wuss considering I lived in Alaska at one time. :(

[amber]

Most of Cali's citrus and avocado crops - froze, ruined.
Farmers lose billions and all that. :(

[DavidMn]

Yeah. I was watching that on the news last night. That's a disaster. Produce is going to be expensive for a while.

[BTFLCHLD]

That's a disaster. This morning they reported milk with be on the $$ rise as well due to the lack of natural feed from farm fields. Cows will be feed purchased hay which is apparently on the $ rise too. :distress: Of course, this is cali so I would imagine there are even worse issues elsewhere.

[gldstwmn]

Well the sun is shining here today even though it's only 24 degrees. I think I'll make it another day. :laugh:

is the most sought after item for ranchers in this part of the US.

What's worse is that the drought had already made hay scarce, but the winter blast has made it even more rare. Ranchers are selling off their herds since it is less expensive than trying to obtain hay/feed for the herds.

Today is the first day since last Thursday/Friday that the temp has been above freezing, Too bad that will be short lived.

I saw that. How awful. It's pretty cold here (yesterday I think the high was 25 or something, low at night around 10), but I'm used to it. I feel bad for you guys who aren't. :xoxo:

[Livia]

We're starting to thaw - the ice and icicles coming off the roof of our office sounds cool - and it looks like it's raining, w/ everything dripping. However, anything turning liquid now could re-freeze tonight.

But, damn, why don't people thaw their vehicles before driving them? I saw giant sheets of ice flying off rooftops and hoods of vehicles going over 35 mph. I was smart enough to keep my distance, and lucky I didn't get hit w/ anything!

:wavey: *brrrrrrr! I actually have to wear something other than a tank top in my house in the winter! :mad: * :laugh:

It's not that bad, we're not dying. For me it's like the winters in the place i grew up, and I hardly think 35 degrees or so will kill me. :laugh:
But since we grow so much produce compared to other states, that part does suck really hard. That is gonna cost us.
It has been really sunny and clear, though, so that is pleasant.

35 degrees is virtually a heatwave for me!! I love reading these boards but a combination of the time difference and the logistics of getting a decent internet connection between here and the UK (where my internet provider is)make it pretty impossible for me to post. However I'm just about to leave for work and it is just around minus 25 degrees now (out of the wind). It will get a bit colder in a few hours time. You just don't know what cold is!

Does Stevie get played any further North than this?

We actually have some snow today! We hardly ever get any at all! I have to say it's a bit of a pathetic attempt but the kids were happy and we had a snowball fight before school this morning :D

Was it on the plain? At least mainly?

:angel:

[DrummerDeanna]

Yea! It's supposed to hit 50 today...sweet relief. OF course then it will all be yanked from us as tomorrow temps are to plunge back into the 20s and more snow is possible over the weekend -making us 6 for 6 (it's snowed every weekend the last month and a half).

But for today it's beautiful - hell lately it hits 30 and I feel warm so I am about to go for a small walk in the sunshine....

[xdreamsunwindx]

It may be balls-cold, but hey, school was closed today! And thus, I slept until 1:00.

I kinda wish I could see some snow, but, um, it was 80 in LA yesterday. I went for a bike ride and a swim.:shrug: :sorry:

Seriously. Yesterday in Chicago we had a high of 1. Windchill -32. Right now it's 1, feels like -14. Our office building is freezing- I'm wearing two sweaters, a scarf, thick handknit socks, and a pair of fingerless gloves I made this weekend and I am still freezing my ass off.

I would've liked to see them play that game yesterday up here instead of Miami. lolz.

[Stew_Matthews]

You get used to the cold after a while just like people get used to the heat. I posted on this thread last week that it was minus twenty something here. Its 3am now and down to about -30C. The cold is fine - it's the fact that there hasn't been any light since November that drives you mad. It will be like this til the end of March.

[skcin]

^ Wow, welcome to The Ledge. You may officially be the most distant member, as far as miles away. :angel:

This morning it was 1 F with a wind chill around 12 below. Like Kate's area, they closed the schools here because it's just too bitter. No snow since Sat (when we had several instances of whiteout conditions - once when I was leaving to go to my mom's; yeah, we turned our asses around & went home not 50 feet from my house.) But this wind is just brutal.

To top it all off, my furnace went out Saturday. It was 58 deg. in my house this morning when I woke up. Furnace guy was supposed to be there today, but I haven't heard from him all day long. Hopefully he can make it today. Thank God for lots of blankets. :o

Welcome to the Ledge. :wavey:

[sara1998]

So we're pretty much getting slammed here now. Waiting on up to 10 inches. It's worse just north of me, where they're under a blizzard warning. Sara's school and daycare is canceled, so naturally, I had to call in!!! SNOW DAY!!! I'm thinking of a little backyard sledding.... hot chocolate. Just talked to my boss, he was typing out my absence e-mail to the building as I was calling... he knew I wouldn't drive in this ****. We're supposed to get freezing rain on top of the snow. It's only supposed to get worse as the day goes on. I hope we don't lose power!

oye. and i was bitching about freezing rain and the commute into the city this morning. enjoy your snow day and stay warm!

[GODDESS6]

we got pounded overnight, it is 18* here w/ 6 inches of snow & more to follow thru-out the day~ snow day for my son & my home daycare is only half full~ & thank god for great neighbors, they know the hubby has to be to wrk by 6 am & he didn't have time to shovel, so they snowblowed me out:] ~

[sara1998]

So far, we've received about 5 inches, which isn't bad, but it's been icing since 9:30 this morning, and hasn't stopped since. I'm scared that the power is going to go out. After it's expected to stop sleeting, they're expecting another 5 inches. Ugh. Stupid weather.

[DrummerDeanna]

^^

Yuck. I'll stop being bitter about the light dusting we're getting :o

I really hope your power holds out! Stay warm!

[AliceLover]

Hope everyone in the Midwest and Northeast stays safe for this storm.

Its starting here early tomorrow morning around 1 AM and is suppose to snow till 12 PM Wednesday, change to rain/sleet, and then back to snow. Boston is finally going to see some snow. I am hoping for a snow day!!

[estranged4life]

It's about 20-something outside, but the wind is blowing between 20-40 MPH out of the North bringint the Artic air with it, so the windchill is much colder.

This morning it was gusting between 40-60MPH and it rained through the night, surprised it didnt snow (But it will on Valentine's Day).

I dont complain about the cold weather, cause I know summer is around the corner and then it will be in 100-110's daily - And I will complain! (Dont think I can take another summer of 40+day of temps over 100.)

[seeker007nmss]

60's and partly cloudy here. You guys in the snow and rain will get your revenge when it hits the 120's here this summer. :nod:

[skcin]

We got hit overnight, still going strong. I'd say we got around 8-10 inches total so far. That's not really unusual here - but it's really cold & windy, worse than usual. I think today it's about 15 degrees with a wind chill below 0.

I just can't keep warm, even inside. Last night while I was up watching TV I had on flanel PJ's, a big fleece robe/pouch-thingy and a wool blanket. Of course,my husband has on pajama pants & a Tshirt. :rolleyes:

[HomerMcvie]

My property's perimeter is lined with pine trees. I've got broken limbs everywhere. My driveway is blocked with iced limbs(still attached to the trees). We pulled the limbs out of the way, and got my truck to the end of the 300' driveway, so I'll be parking by the road, and walking in, until it melts enuf for the limbs to lift themselves.

I FUKCING HATE WINTER.:mad:

I was wondering how you were doing down there. I see you have power, though, so that's positive! Stay safe!

[SuzeQuze]

We have about 3-4 inches of snow with rain coming down on top of that. This will likely ice over later, plus get snow on top of that ice, making for some insane road conditions.

[estranged4life]

It's snowing outside, while the sun is coming through...Maybe that wasnt snow but fallout from Iraq possibly???

Chicago got pounded last night! However, today is sunny!

[skcin]

^ OMG, you live on my street? :lol:


After all was said & done, we got between 8 & 16 inches, depending on the town. I'd say there's at least 10 inches at my house. At 8am it was -2, with a wind chill of -15. :shocked:

Seriously? I figured being up there and all, that would be nothing to you. I look forward to going and picking her up just so I can see it!

[DeadliestPoison]

We have about 10 inches of snow on the ground here. Up north, there is 17 inches. I'll see that tomorrow when I pick my stepdaughter up. I've seriously never seen that much snow.
Yeah, it's about 17 inches up here in Muncie. Where they are the slowest plowers EVER. Classes were canceled for two days, though, so I can't complain too much, I guess.

Everything in Connecticut is candy-coated by about six inches of frozen rain. You can literally walk on top of the snow without sinking in. Had a bitch of time getting the trash can out tonight. The think literally screeched across the snow, and every time it got stuck I had to manhandle it out of the snow. I bet the whole neighborhood heard me yelling "damn you!" at my garbage can! :laugh:

Ya, my stepdaughter is in Tipton. Wish me luck tomorrow! And good luck to you! Be safe! The warm up is on the way!!!

It's about 15 right now, supposed to be about 8 in the morning.

Thankfully by Monday the temps will be in the 50's.

^ OMG, you live on my street? :lol:


After all was said & done, we got between 8 & 16 inches, depending on the town. I'd say there's at least 10 inches at my house. At 8am it was -2, with a wind chill of -15. :shocked:OUch Paula! You sure got the doubhle whammy.

At least your neighbors aren't being jerks like last time - did I remember that accurately?

Yeah, they're always jerks though. Which instance are you referring to? Their evil kids who don't listen? The fact that they leave their garbage bags out on the front porch for days at a time? Their tacky-ass rope-lighted flagpole in the backyard that people mistakenly think is mine? You gotta narrow it down a little bit. :D

EDIT: You mean the **** they pulled during the October storm, I believe. We've avoided them pretty successfully since then.

Right now it is snowing like crazy. The forecast is for blizzard like conditions until tomorrow and we could see up to 15" of snow.
