Default Who likes Ice Storms?

I certainly don't, but right now I'm in the middle of one. Predicting up to 1" of ice with 1-2" of snow on top of it. Right now as I type this I'd say there's about 1/4" of ice on everything. It's times like these that a 2 car garage would come in real handy. The 'bird will be fine since it's resting in the garage for the Winter, but I'll probably have to use the hair dryer on my truck to pry my way in.

I'm just thankful I made it home tonight before it gets any worse. Hopefully the ice won't knock out my broadband connection

Ice would be bad.... I have a small dead tree in my front yard that I haven't removed yet. An ice storm is probably all it would take to knock every branch off it.....

I'd say you'd be right....I saw several downed trees and limbs on my way home tonight. I have a small healthy tree in my front yard that I DON'T want to be knocked down by the ice.

Well woke up to roughly 1/2" of ice. Everything was covered except for the roads, so I was able to easily make it to work. I did have to off-road it a little to get around some large limbs that had fallen from my next door neighbor's trees.

I will admit that it does look pretty outside.

I don't think I've seen so many news channel vans in my little town before
