Highway patrol map Uncheck some of the shit on left and you can see roads closed and redneck bumper car derby.

6°, w/windchill of -4° rfn

Brrr.

They are predicting up to 1/4" of ice tomorrow, so I figured I would go online and see who to call when my Internet goes out. But apparently Verizon is concerned with something far more severe:

good catch!

Clodfobble · 02-04-2014, 04:30 PM

That's funny... I went searching earlier in case it was something like that, except I searched for "tropical storm Saturn." Because I apparently don't know what season it is.

We're getting the Ali jab tonight and the Foreman hammer over the weekend.

State of Emergency, I don't even have to take a vacation day!

Looks like we dodged a bullet down here today. They were predicting ice, which is really the worst. But it's mostly just cold rain with an occasional slick spot. The trees have maybe a quarter of an inch of ice on them, which is no biggie. And it's supposed to warm up a few degrees, so even that will melt.

The weekend is sounding interesting though.

Griff · 02-05-2014, 07:27 AM

Ice isno fun.

Undertoad · 02-05-2014, 08:33 AM

Severe icing as predicted.

So far none of the falling trees or branches have hit the house or car. So that's good.

I was able to get out and salt the driveway, and in the meantime I cut all the branches I could reach on the 2" limb leaning on the cable coming to the house. One cable is above the branch, one below it. I don't know if it's power or Internet but either way that would be bad. My chainsaw is electric...

Weird sounds coming from all over as stuff melts and falls. There are two guys on the roof of the three-story apartment building next door. A bad thing probably happened.

I read "500,000 without power in Philly"...then I thought "I wonder if the Cellar is still up?"

And here you are.
