Rain & Ice!!

Ice is treacherous for driving. Keep safe all of you!

We didn't get it as bad as out west. WOW!! The paved roads are in pretty decent shape, but the gravel roads are horrible.

I saw the news also Michelle, I hope you still have electricity, it looks really bad. Let us know how you're doing.

Janet....did you have to drive bus today. They cancelled school up here. It was pretty nasty this morning, but it wasn't too bad at lunch. Walking is worse then driving.

Yes I drove this morning. It wasn't bad at all on the paved roads, but the gravel roads were horrible. My son wanted to drive and he really needed to, but hubby called and said the roads were really slick.....he has a tendency to exaggerate some. I think my son would have been okay driving. It was foggy here a little bit, how about up there?

No Fog, but it was so overcast that it looked like it was still dark til 10. The ice had started to melt at lunch once it brightened a bit.

Janet, you are just too funny!!!!

Beautiful pictures!!!

Y'all Notherners take care out there & stay safe!!!

Tink · 12-11-2007, 09:54 AM

What a mess!
My prayers are with you all to stay safe.
So far it's all staying south of me. It's been too cold here to rain. So we're on the upper edge of the storm but getting snow rather than ice. Just an hr or 2 south of us they are getting rain and ice and dh is out driving, so is NOT a happy camper. I guess he's going to be waiting it out in a truck stop rather than getting his miles and making his delivery times. Thank God he's smart enough to just pull over and do that.

Marilyn · 12-11-2007, 11:27 AM

Michelle, I had not seen your pictures when I made the earlier post. Sure hope when things thaw out, some of your trees will be salvagable. It's amazing sometimes how trees can heal when we think they are a loss. We see it from hurricanes. Trees are broken and bent, but a year later, you would never know.

Wishing all you in the ice and snow warmth, safety, and electricity very soon!!!

Tink · 12-11-2007, 12:32 PM

Wow Michelle, I'd missed your photos too. How nasty!
Ice is beautiful to look at, but so dangerous to deal with.

Marilyn...you know that commercial where they hit themselves in the head? I think it's a V8 commercial....well, they copied that from me....LOLOLOL DUH!!!!

Janet · 12-11-2007, 03:39 PM

Okay, I'm tired of winter now..make it go away. It's been rainy and foggy all day long, we're suppose to get some snow this weekend..AND I NEED TO FINISH SHOPPING!!!!!

Sorry that was just a minor attack there. I'm better now. I really do need to get some shopping done before everything is completely picked over.

goofywife · 12-12-2007, 01:33 PM

You gals are too kind. It looks like we will be able to save some of the trees. After driving through some of the other neighborhoods, I feel lucky. Wow, there really is some damage out there.

Now it looks like we will get 3-6 inchs of snow this weekend. It looks like my DH will be working hard at least until Christmas. I really feel for those that still don't have power.

Gina · 12-12-2007, 07:12 PM

The photos are very pretty, thanks for sharing..

I hope you all stay safe my prayers are with you. It is begining to get a little cold. We are expecting some snow maybe two inches the tops mixed with rain.

It's always good to "have that kind of moment" Janet - LOL!

You are so funny.
I hope the weather clears for you to head out shopping. I know you've been trying to get this done for a couple weekends now.

Janet · 12-13-2007, 06:42 AM

Thanks Sheryl. I suppose I could go shopping during the day, but I have to go to another city about 30 minutes (maybe a little more) to shop and I'm so afraid something will happen and I won't get back in time to do the afternoon route. So, I try to do shopping on weekends, but they are not cooperating...lol

Today it is really foggy with a heavy mist, so I'm not gonna try going today. Tomorrow is suppose to be nice, so I'm thinking I might try going then...Saturday is suppose to be crappy weatherwise, but who really knows till it gets here.

Outside of feeling a little rushed, I'm anxious to buy some presents.
