.6-.8" ice?!! That's gonna be a slaughter-fest.

They've got us slated for 59 one day, but it's a week away....
Zero here this AM. I'm predicting that this is the last, coldest night.

 

[blazincajun]

Birmingham-Atlanta II? We will have to see. Heard it is already snowing in N. Fulton County, GA

 

[woodgeek]

Yarg. We got 0.5" of ice (on snow covered wires) and got a visit from FEMA. 0.8" in Atlanta....yipes.

Fortunately, most of the pine trees are longleaf pine.

We are in the 10+ . That's a lot for us at this elevation (western NC ) (broken image removed)

how you folks fairing. radar looks to be heavy with Daniel Field temp @ 32*? @ 6.52am

 

[burr]

Us folks are gonna lose some trees. Its bad now and aint slacking up. My actual air temp is 32 and thats the low thru the night. Precip is very light, a mist pellet - like sleet, but its s'posed to be all day and the trees are layin down already. Powers up here and scanners buzzin but not widespread outages yet (me thinks). I'm an hour from Columbia and 30 minutes to MagnoliaLane (AugNat'l).

Its toasty here inside, plenty of fuel but this has been my most used season with my littleBuck.

listening to Augusta's wgac. good luck and stay warm

 

[burr]

It's increased precip since I first posted 10 minutes ago.

 

[Mrs. Krabappel]

Finally snowing here.

 

[burr]

Just for an event like this, I bought a 400 watt HF inverter several years ago with its main purpose to power the fan in my littleBuck during outages. I'm thinking it will be fine for that purpose but now Im wondering what else might I hook up ? Ive got 2 12v car batterys charged and ready when needed; if I'm still pounding the keys, Ive still got 'factory' power.

Here in Augusta 32 degrees freezing rain again after sleeting most of the morning. Branch cracking sounds all around. Been wearing my hard hat every time I step outside. Jim Cantore is in Augusta from The Weather Channel.
Oops electricity just blinked hanging in there. Here are some photos

Wood piles

Our poor palm trees

no snow here yet but you can feel the air getting heavier, wont be long now i suspect, we're in the 8-14" band projected over the next 24 hours or so.

 

[Lighting Up]

I just put on the weather Channel...What is wrong with NC people....see when they tell us Northerns to stay of the road we do...life is more important poor people. I feel bad for the people behind the ones who are abandoning their cars nothing more frustrating...stay safe everyone.

 

[Mrs. Krabappel]

I'm not sure to what you are referring, but we live in NC and were out on the road today. Here are the pix. (broken image removed)(broken image removed)

 

[razerface]

We don't stay off the roads in Ohio either. They delay school if they THINK it might snow,,,I go to work in anything but blizzard conditions. Most around here ignore what "they" tell us to do.

Mrs K,,,dog is having fun! My dog sits by the door just waiting for me to go out.

I hear people having a hard time with the ice down there. I hope that stops soon. I don't like icy roads either.

(broken image removed)overload, sorry off topic!

They waited too long to let people go home.

And is Chicago "Northerns"?

Or Pennsylvania?

 

[begreen]

Ooo no, you don't want to tangle with a propane truck.

 

[BrotherBart]

When I was in the truck leasing business I volunteered to drive a truck with a customer's propane trailer back to the the shop since the trailer didn't have landing gear. He warned me that I didn't want to do that.

Every time I stopped I had to do it three times. The liquid would come forward and smack me. Come forward and smack me. Come forward and smack me.
