Icepocalypse 2010

[Inky_Wretch]

New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and Carolinas, get ready.

I'd take a foot of snow instead of half-an-inch of ice any day of the week.

 

[Low Battery]

Everyone here in Tennessee is worried, but doubt I'll see more than an inch of snow. No worries.

They can't seem to get a handle on how much snow we'll get in Virginia ... forecasters just keep saying "plowable snow."

Meanwhile, up here in CT, it was like 50 last week and we don't have a speck of snow on the ground.

Yeah, this has been a great winter. The past couple weeks we've been in the high-30s to mid-40s, and even a couple days up near 50. It doesn't get much better than that in January in the Northeast. It's supposed to get colder for a couple days here, though, at the end of the week.

here in eastern NYS, it's supposed to be 18 on Friday with a low of 2.
BRASS MONKEY ALERT!

That pre-Christmas storm was enough snow and ice for one winter, thank you very much.

I prefer the term 'doable snow.'

Just cold rain for us, and a lot of it (up to three inches). For a while there, though, the TV heads were trumpeting the ARCTIC BLAST. They've walked it back to the Red River.

 

[imjustagirl]

iPocalypse.

Wish I'd have gotten the word about the Icepocalypse before I slipped and fell on the sidewalk in my condo complex last week and broke 2 bones in my ankle. Worst part was that I almost slipped once, caught myself, and vowed to be more careful the rest of the way - only to have my feet go completely out from under me three steps later when I tried to tip-toe around a corner.

The last week and a half has been depressing to say the least. Moral of the story: If you have ice on the streets/sidewalks/pavement by where you live, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, be careful out there. Ankle surgery is NOT fun.

Nobody can EVER get a handle on how much snow Virginia will get. All I know is that here at the coast, we haven't had legitimate, shovelable snow since Dec. 26, 2004, and that we've had four or five "sure thing" snowfall predictions in the last two seasons turn to rain or nothing. Supposedly we're getting this, but I'll believe it when I'm making snow abominations in my front yard.

doable = plowable

Just thought I'd throw this out: College baseball season starts here on Friday.

I am NOT kidding.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

Nothing will come close to the ice storm we had last year.

And John Belski at WAVE-3 in Louisville said we were supposed to get 6 inches of the white stuff overnight Monday, and he said Tuesday that we're expected to get 1 or 2 feet by Saturday morning. He's the only weatherman I've heard say that last figure; the Weather Channel is saying we're not supposed to get more than 2 inches.

It was 70 degrees in central Oklahoma today. Tomorrow, we're apparently all going to die.

It was 56 this afternoon in my little corner of Kansas. Not supposed to get above 25 tomorrow with chances for sleet, snow and/or ice.

This little corner got hammered around Christmas and the snow stuck around for 2 1/2 weeks afterwards. I didn't get to experience that because I was in the opposite corner of Kansas visiting my family. No snow. Just 5-degree high temps with 40 MPH winds. And my dog STILL wanted to go for walks.

When it's 70 degrees in central Oklahoma in LATE JANUARY ... circle of life.
