In fact, I love to wade through waist deep snow. But those ice storms... ugh! You folks have far more mettle than I.

Yep - it pretty well shuts the place down! I'm just thankful my power has stayed on.....the lights dimmed a few times today.

Mmmmmm.... In this area the storms are known as "the monsoons". People who grew up here take them very seriously. People who have moved from the Midwest just take a few extra seconds to adjust their golf swing.

My husband called earlier and said it was snowing heavily in Grand Prairie. I hope it stays there. He said he hopes it doesn't follow him home.......

Randy, I like your new avatar. Holmes.

Our streets look worse today than yesterday - and temps not above freezing til Monday! may be another "snow day" for schools in the mid-south!

Grill out anyone?

It really is a beautiful sight, but dangerous! The brick wall is even glazed over.

Just so thankful for a bright sunshine in Indiana... we have had almost two straight weeks of heavy cloud cover... I don't mind the cold even. lol

Thankful I am not dealing with snow or ice.... just cold.

The ice is beautiful Renda, but like you said...dangerous

No question about it, Renda. That looks like an OHIO ice storm! We usually get one or two of those every winter. You're right they are beautiful, but very dangerous.

When I lived in Owosso, Michigan, they got ALOT of snow - deep, deep snows. I would call my work and tell the boss I'd be there as soon as I could get my car out of the parking lot, which sometimes took a half a day.

One day we got a huge ice storm like this one you've got. Well, I was used to those. So I went to work. And called my boss from my desk and asked where HE was! He laughed hysterically.Said, "I can't believe you can't make it in when we have a little snow (18" is NOT a little snow to me!), but you can slide in here in spite of an ice storm. Only someone from Ohio.............."

We got about 8-9 inches of snow last night. Supposed to get a couple more today. But I still have power. YAY!

Our place looks pretty much the same as Renda's. We got about six inches of snow on top of ice. I've been stranded in the house for two days now, and I'm going nuts! LOL We are going to try to get out in a few minutes to get to Walgreen's and the bank and to see what the church parking lot looks like, but I imagine it's really bad.
