6. Wow, thanks, it is so big. I like being able to see how it is moving.

[byronius]

Thanks.

5. Ohio ;) Same place I am

Love the snow - when I don't have to be out in it.

[RebelOne]

15. Better not be Georgia.

We had our fill of ice last winter.

4. Take care

My area has been hit with ice storms frequently in the past few years, dodging the bullet this time but they are disastrous, take care. The words "ice storm" just leave a nasty taste at this point.

7. Ice?

Seems to me, that 30 years ago, ice storms tracked a lot further south, like from Oklahoma across the mid-South. But I must not be remembering correctly, because there is no such thing as climate change.

9. Lived in Ohio most my life, remember more than a few ice storms (nt)

8. Feel for you, here in NW Ohio we're just getting snow....be safe, and warm!

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. We just got a glancing blow in eastern Iowa. Way too cold for ice here, thank goodness!

12. last long power outage from ice

that i can recall was december 2004. it was out for a week. it was fricking cold.....pretty , but cold. we had to spend a few nights away with the fur posse.

[The Straight Story]

14. Yep, remember that one. My mom died at that time.

She had just got home that week and the storm hit, we ran the generator for heat and some light. She went back in the hospital and never came back out.

That is one storm I will never forget.

[Bonhomme Richard]

13. I finally gave in and got a generator this year.

After our October storm in CT that was enough.

[a la izquierda]

16. Yeah, we're in for the night...

my dogs are not happy about this weather at all.

[Motown_Johnny]

17. Up here in Detroit we are just getting snow

so I guess we are the lucky ones this time around






P.S. I lived in Columbus for a little while back in '92. Worked at the Hyatt convention center.

[Louisiana1976]

18. We're getting snow here in central IL.

[flying rabbit]

20. Right in the middle of one right now in the columbia river gorge.

Gonna hunker down, and maybe make some chili. At least I don't have to work tomorrow.

21. power still on

which makes me happy and warm. from the living room window, the residential street is grey and white, cloudy skies, the dog and i will take a careful walk later, well wrapped. i've got coffee, bacon, flush toilet and power. life is pretty good right now.
