Default I wish it was summer!

I'll try and get some pics up later. We have about 20 trees down on our property at the moment. This is the worst ice storm we've had in quite a while. I hope Hitman and his family are doing fine in Lawton. I'll try and keep posted between power outages. Bailey.

I hear ya about the ice storms, what you guys already got, we're getting now........everything is iced over and the trees are starting to bend real bad. It's not as bad yet as the one we had here last year, but if it keeps up, it will be.

Just a quick pic outin my back yard of a little ice on the trees and such..........

Good luck with the ice. I've seen a couple of ice storms, one in Korea comes to mind, but you guys are really getting hammered.

One of the storms just barely missed us, cruised out to the Atlantic but we got more snowfall from it. Made a gallery with some pics

Good luck with that.

I'll never forget the icestorm of 1998, that was crazy s**t!
I've frankly never heard of something that bad... and I was fully in it. No electricity for a few days. I remember eating cheerios in the morning with half frozen milk haha
Here's some lovely pictures, which don't really do this huge storm justice.

I have had my share of that shit! Living the Winters in Cleveland, Ohio has its moments. However, this year I decided to fight back:

Click the image to open in full size.

On the left is 18,000 watts of natural gas fired power. That was part of our massive home renovation this year. I had a portable 5,000 watt unit but this sucker is fully automatic and natural gas fueled (or LPG if I add a tank). That plus the new furnace pretty much assures a comfortable winter.

I hate those damn ice storms!

We're getting it again after a short break this afternoon, nothing to worry about though, except for trees coming down, but then I'll have plenty of firewood again for next year...........;)

We run a wood stove for heat most the winter anyways, so nothing different goes on with ice storms there and we have a small generator that powers most the house, nothing like what Reloadron has, but but its enough for our small house. Oh, and not to forget the importand stuff, satellite internet, so we're set for all the bad weather ..............:)
