"Ice"tastrophy 2011

My dad is fine... bruised up pretty good though. They didn't have to do anything to him, thankfully. We're not even able to walk out our doors without the threat of falling. My oldest daughter bit it first thing this morning letting the dogs out. I had to get out there and chop up the back porch. That was a mess! I'm guessing about 2 inches thick!

I am sooooooooooooooo sick of this weather!!! We have like 3 ft of snow+ and theres still more to come!!!!!! I gogt stuck 3 times today driving

when I drove out to the cemetery yesterday and the snow drifts were over 4 tall (With the wind gusting between 20-40MPH out of the North), I tried to drive through the smaller ones at the entrance with the 4 wheel drive turned on in my Trailblazer, and even with traction control I could not grip the road...so instead of being abandoned 9.7 miles from home I backed out in reverse and came home.

Somewhere Debbie's spirit is saying "Way to go ex-lax!"

Been so NOT enjoying the single digit temps the past few evenings, and tonight the low is supposed to be -1°F (If not lower) - at least we were spared the ice this time, but the local TV weather forecast said more cold air is on the way....Great!

I am so tired of this weather, but luckily we haven't had much of it. It was a nice 75 degrees here on Monday and I got to go enjoy the day wearing shorts. However, it has been miserably cold and windy the past 2 days and isn't getting above freezing until Friday or possibly Sat. The cabin fever hasn't set in for me yet, so I wouldn't mind staying couped up for a few days, but I have class at 8 AM tomorrow and my water is frozen. Le sigh...

It's funny that people are complaining here about snowstorms, when in Australia the average temperature this week has been 30 Degrees. However, Queenslander's just had the floods and a cyclone.
Has anyone lost their lives in the storms?

I have been very concerned with any information I can read or watch about Cyclone Yasi. I have often thought about you in the last two days wondering how or if you are affected by this storm. Unfortunately, very little info is available on the net. What can you tell us?
