Round two coming up.....
 
We got about .25 or so of ice. Trees are sagging hard already. Supposed to get another .5 today and .25 tonight. Then the wind.

I lost power from about 10P - 2A. I think that's just a small taste of what we're going to get.
 
Here calling for snow to start around 2 p.m. and continue to Thurs at 9 am.
 
Sounds like its going to be no reason not to be a couple years ahead on wood. Weaterman calling it a 12-z run lol
 
Being I am working on getting 2 years ahead I should sell off next years at a premium right now, and just replace it. :)

YES With what where cutting now thats a no-brainer! (Locus and hedge) Pretty awesome when you can over look that monster ash!
 
ah dang... I stayed home from work today for nothing. Got up at 4, saw 1/4" of ice and just went back to bed. But I knew I wasted a day off when my wife called me a feline and said she was going to work (school). When the schools down here don't cancel it means the roads are really good yet.

Oh well... it won't hurt to stay home and rest and get some stuff done. maybe I'll dig the lanterns out to jinx the storm from dumping ice on us.

Our schools are all closed trees are very heavy...Just a matter of time now! Another 3/4 inch of ice coming with 35-40 mph winds with some gusting up to 60mph. This will shut everything down unless they have an awesome gen-set! I have one but it darn sure not Awesome.

Oh and the truck been running for 45min;s and still cant see out the windshield...........
 
I was going to stay home as well. After listening to the forecast last night, it sounded like armegeddon. Got up this morning, no snow whatsoever and a just a little ice. Getting sick and tired of the "boy that cried wolf" weather channel. I'm sure it helps their ratings though and advertising. Liars.

:grrr: So far all white here . . .no pink and no green.

You go back in Wednesday Zap, you better have the winch and a long cable to get back out!!
 
I’m not quite North eastern Ohio…..... About an hour south of cleveland. We are forecasted to get next to nothing
Where in Ohio? I'm from Akron.
 
17 degrees with -1 windchill now.About 2" snow overnight,the heavier stuff starting again tonight,5 to 9 inches by Wednesday morning.Not as bad as they originally thought,the worst is south & southeast of here.
 
It won't be the first time the winch has saved my butt. Unless we get 8-10 inches of snow tonight I'll be back in early with pictures to follow, one topped off cherry and some dead standing.
