everything looks like it is shrink wrapped...worried about it snapping power lines...last time Memphis got a bad ice storm, some parts of the city were without power for a week or so. Sucks, one of my jobs doesnt close under any circumstances, so I will have to drive on a skating rink tomorrow...not looking forward to this.

    we lucked out...about an hour ago it changed to snow! Talkin' about getting a foot(uncommon for around here).
    Sucks for OK and AR, looks like they got punched in the nuts with this storm.

    You should have until about 2pm and it's going to be pretty light at first.

    Noon flight delayed half an hour. Fack...


    I'm pessimistic because on the way down here, I got to LGA at 7:45am and got to Atl a little after 11pm.

    the thaw seems as dangerous as the storm...big ass hunks of ice and icicles falling from every roof, telephone pole, street light, tree...sounds like gravel has been falling on the house non stop all morning...

    Southerners.


    You'll be fine, the house will be straight. If you haven't lost power initially, no need to worry afterwards.

    Keep in mind we don't really have the kinda infrastructure that can deal with that down here... I had a icestorm knock out our power for over a week a few years ago (which occurred a day or two after the stuff came, BTW).

    Fortunately central NC just received the best snow we've had in a long time, it was a beautiful thing...

    Yeah, my friend was going to law school in NC Central during "the" ice storm in NC of recent note. She said her posse was eating at BK like everyday. I wish shit would melt here, I look outside and have dreams of NOLA or TX.
