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

[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.

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!

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 here wednesday morning, but is posta warm to 25*

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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.
