Ice Storm Pics

[captain]

I thought I would share some early shots of the ice storm coming into OKC... I snapped a couple of pics as this ice thing started here....

looking to the North


The ice building on the ground


The ice came in early... We forgot to take the flag down before the weather came in... There isnt anything holding the flag from the sides.. Its is one sheet of ice..

Ice storms are the worst. Power lines down, roads impassable, cold temps. yuck. It's on its way here, and I am not looking forward to it. Forecasters can't make their collective minds up as far as what we will receive in my area, but only one has had the fortitude to admit that he doesn't know. Depending where the front ends up, we may get as much as 10 inches of snow, or a couple of inches of ice with a couple of snow on top. Wintry mix is such a benign term for an awful mess.....

 

[skydivr]

Wow, now go play on your laser (I'm watching!)

 

[dalaster88]

we're still in the unknown as far as wintery mix.

 

[Professor]

I'm an hour south, driving that way. Hopefully the roads hold out a bit longer!

 

[mrsBusawhipped]

[Blanca BusaLess]

Geesh what more do you want a 74 degree day in West Palm Beach or what ?
Dont miss it a bit I tell ya' !

 

[Mr Brown]

Ouch! Stay safe everyone!!

You guys are gonna get in on it as well, never fear!

 

[outlawbusa]

WoW~!!~ Glad we're just calling for 8" of snow tomorrow

 

[DaCol.]

NOTHING here yet . Hope my bet with the wifie comes true ! I say no more than 2" to 3" if that here . Wife says 10" to 12"

 

[pack mule]

Our mess will be here Friday night, hope more sleet than freezing rain.

 

[jdsbusa]

Some global warming sure would be nice right about now!

 

[VaBusa]

We're supposed to get a snow storm out of this, but I think my tiny peninsula might be spared according to the always inaccurate weather guy

I hope lease:

 

[omslaw]

Stay safe Doug, Rick, and everyone else down that way. The main storm is supposed to *just* be to the south of KC. We're expecting some snow tomorrow from it...not sure how much yet.

 

[shadetree57]

Rain only down here but the ground is already saturated. Yall take care up there.

We had a huge ice storm here back in 2003. In the middle of a National Forest it was devastating. I got caught out in it coming home from work. Took me 6 hours to go 5 miles as i pulled, drove over and cut (until i ran out of chain saw gas) thru downed trees to get home. Still only got within a half mile from home and had to walk. Parked my truck on the road in front of about 100 yards of downed trees blocking it.

We cut back from my house to my truck only to find an uprooted OAK laying across the bed. Yep Totaled.

3 days stranded in my holler and 12 days without power (except the generator last 9 days)
I do not wish an ice storm on anyone. Good Luck all. Prayer be with you.

I passed a convoy of line trucks headed North. Must have been 20. They may be headed to see James.

 

[ditchdr]

We need some ice storms here.. Knock down a few trees so I can get paid to remove them.

 

[NIGHTFLIGHT]
