Anyone else in the states been hit by the ice?

o_captain_cadaver · 01-15-2007, 11:26 PM

My parents have been out of power since saturday. Im lucky to be on such a reliable power grid, alot of my neighbors are not so fortunate. Branches are snapping off trees and even whole fucking trees are crashing down taking out power lines where I'm at. Last night I thought I saw lighting flashes in the distance but they were transformers blowing up down town. There is a half inch coating of ice on every surface outside. It sucks in Missouri.

We don't get ice down here in San Diego, California. =x

Though, I prefer cold whether, and have lived in freezing temperatures before.

o_broodingdude · 01-16-2007, 12:13 AM

I wish.

o_zsilver_fox · 01-16-2007, 12:13 AM

Just some moderate snow here in NE Iowa.

o_uber · 01-16-2007, 12:14 AM

No ice, but got about a foot of snow almost here last night.

o_pixel · 01-16-2007, 12:15 AM

We just got some ice, busses all got cancelled.

o_df` · 01-16-2007, 01:12 AM

Damn Appalachian mountains, reducing all our blizzards to a handful of flurries by the time they reach the east coast. Just once I'd like to wake up to 3 feet of snow, that just seems like it would be so unreal.

o_sta_sirtiger · 01-16-2007, 01:22 AM

Yup, we have tons of ice here at north Texas. There's some slight predictions for sleet/snow coming up.

o_ghost · 01-16-2007, 01:44 AM

We got some here last night and this morning in Utica, NY. I'm a volunteer firefighter and we had 7 different calls today related to the weather. Mostly just trees/power lines down.

o_addicted to morphine · 01-16-2007, 01:55 AM

Vermont is covered in ice right now.

o_demasu · 01-16-2007, 02:14 AM

No ice yet, but it's supposed to get down to freezing as the high tomorrow, but by thursday it's supposed to be back up to 50 =/

o_jinx · 01-16-2007, 02:31 AM

Heh I live in Cleveland, and I think we've had snow here once- back in November. I don't miss having to clean off my car of the stuff, but on the other hand this is really, really weirding me out

o_the russian · 01-16-2007, 02:35 AM

western NY is covered in ice... 6,000 ppl without power and my business's satelite wires went dead... so we were screwd with not being able to take credit / debit all damn day on my 12 hour shift.

fortunately though, this time, i have power

o_tyrus · 01-16-2007, 03:02 AM

Still wearing my wife-beater here in Florida. In fact just got home from sweating my ass off in running, football and tennis.

o_captain_cadaver · 01-16-2007, 03:19 AM

Ok, now they say it will be high winds and snow all night for us. As if the ice isn't enough. I just hope a branch doesn't clobber my truck. To many trees in my town, ah well.

Lost · 01-16-2007, 03:30 AM

Inch to two inches of ice around here, roads are navigable though. About 100k people without power.

o_geokill-----> · 01-16-2007, 04:10 AM
