Ice Storm

will be thinking of you bsmart - looks like we are gonna get some freezing rain overnight, but not to that extent. we also have 3-5 inches of snow to look forward to thursday afternoon. the fun never ends in indiana !

And Walton County, FL is under a tornado watch with a nasty squall line approaching--get some photos SJ!

Looks like we are going to have one heck of an ice storm in Northeast GA tonight, temp is 32 degrees and this system could produce two inches of rain--which will glaze over as freezing rain. The dew point right now is 20 degrees so when the saturated air begins to cool it doesn't look good...let's hope I do not lose electricity.

My deck is already iced up and my husband just got in from a late night at the office and said the roads are beginning to get a little slippery!

The GDOT reports that elevated I-85 access ramps in Barrow, Jackson and N.E Gwinnett Counties are experiencing some icing. I just walked outside and saw that the trees are beginning to glaze here, with a temp of 31 degrees now. Stay safe GTTBM and family.

Argggg. Bad timing for this kind of weather. All the college kids will be coming home this weekend after exams, so the roads will be busy. Keep safe, everyone! Drive very carefully.

Other than the full moon shining, it is too dark to see squall lines.

Be careful my GA friends...that freezing rain is dangerous!!!

Well thank goodness I got to the grocery store to get my beer and chips.....I mean my milk and bread. Now if only we can keep power. We have a generator, we may have to slip and slide to get our daughter and angel feather if we have a power outage. SIL is in Arizona this week. Thank goodness I have a nursery ready and waiting for him if the need arises!

We never get snow! Just this mess! That's why we hate winter!

Ummm I meant lightning.

Hmmm......I wonder where that tree was that just fell? Sounded awful. I've lost a few branches too from the sounds of things outside. Aren't ice storms just fun? NOT! I am so suprised I still have power.

Ice storms are really scary..We had one about 10 years ago. Our yard is filled with trees and it sounded like guns being shot. Each time I heard the loud bang, I prayed and went outside to see where it was. Fortunately our home was spared. Hopefully you will be too. I will pray for safe travels for those on the road.

And now I just saw the flash and heard the bang of a transformer exploding.

I hate hearing that!!! Let us know when your power is restored. Oh the poor trees!!!

I never lost power...well at least not yet!

Good news! Has the frozen precip stopped? I need to go listen to the weather!

It looks like it's about over and the ice seems to be melting off the trees now. I really hate seeing how some of these trees (which surround my house) bend during these ice storms.

The storm, sans ice, is rolling over Walton County at the moment. Water spouts have been spotted just off shore, and a nasty radar red glob is moving NE from the Gulf towards Rosemary Beach. Look out!

It rained all night here in Alabamy. My yard was ankle deep this morning.

We were suppose to get that yesterday in Chicago - but all we got north of the city was about 1-2 inches and then it turned to sleet - rain - got warmer as the night went on and is melting now. I have already had enough snow this winter.

Lost electricity this morning at about 4:30 and it just now came back on. No damage to trees in my yard other than a few minor limbs down. My neighbors aren't so lucky...the lady across the street lost a huge Magnolia tree, it split down the side. Some other neighbors lost some pine trees. The sound of transformers exploding every two minutes along with the green flash is a scary thing to hear and see.

I wish it would take out the magnolia in my back yard. I hate that thing. It smells great, but it dumps a jillion leaves in my yard.

And they are like leather...it takes a long time for them to break down it seems, my neighbors would always blow down into my yard.
