I'd get rich quick if I owned stock in tire chain manufacturers!!!!!

[KG4CGC]

All the tire chains in existence were made up until 1979.

Hello.

I looks like 2 days of 20 degrees in San Antonio.
That means millions of dollars in damage, and plenty of work for me.

[W5GA]

Weatherman is predicting up to 1" of ice, under up to a foot of snow, and temps sub-zero in Tulsa!

[NQ6U]

52°F (11°C) and overcast with a chance of showers here on the Islets of Langerhans today. Miserable...

[N8YX]

Wholly sheet! This could be worse than Y2K! :shock:

[W5GA]

Wholly sheet! This could be worse than Y2K! :shock:
No chit, Tulsa just went to a blizzard warning, and our guv has already declared a state of emergency for all 77 counties. The snow hasn't even started yet. The local wx guys that have been on the air say they've never seen anything like this.

[N8YX]

Who could have imagined that 3" of icy snow weighs as much as 1+ feet of heavy, wet snow? :shock:

Took me a solid hour to clean the driveway this morning and another half hour to clean my car off.

More coming tonight. :wall:

Was in Akron (well Copley) about 1:30am and left about 3am. Looked like it was going to be a bad one. Came to the conclusion 21 and I-77 from Copley road to the toll road are the forgotten part of the world in Ohio, the turnpike west to Toledo wasn't in much better shape either. Oh well, if you live in Ohio or Michigan you can learn to expect that every winter. Hope the Ice isn't going to be too bad. I still have to run over that way again Wed. They closed the lane for tonite. Good thing, I have to deal with the foot of snow they're calling for in Detroit.

[N4VGB]

We may be spared the ice & snow BUT the wind is howling big time out there.

NWS says sustained winds 15-30mph with gusts 40-50mph!!!

[VK3ZL]

Geez....And here I am wallowing in 43C heat...Cat 5 Cyclone in North VK4...Poor buggers just getting over devastating floods didn't need that...Supposed to hit the coast around 10pm tonite...Must be an awful lotta sinners there I think...

Bob..VK3ZL..

[W5GA]

Well, the storm has passed (finally)! We broke all one day snow fall records in N.E. OK with this one. I have 4-5' drifts in my yard now, hopefully the county will be by sometime in the next couple days to plow the roads. You know it's bad when you see the snowplows in town get stuck.

I see it's your guy's turn. We got that 20 inch blast back in december. We have not been above freezing since. So the snow is ass deep to a 7 foot indian.

[KA5PIU]

Hello.

It is below freezing, and the pipes are a poppin'.
It has to stay below freezing for at least a full day.
What happens is that people remember to leave the water running until that night or next morning, and once it freezes the show is over.
The frozen water expands, and cracks pipes.
Most of the damage will be inside walls, but sometimes it is in the slab or outside.
Moral of the story, pay a little now, or else!
Let the water drip a bit, at every faucet.
Or, buy electric pipe heating strips.
Cover external faucets and be sure they are insulated to below ground level.
This house has valves inside the house to turn off the water outside.
You close the inside valves and open the outside valves.
Once the water stops dripping you put a screw on cap on the faucet, but do not close the valve.
If there is a bit of water left it can expand to free space.

[KG4CGC]

My friend in Wisconsin says his back door is drifted shut.

You guys get the ice and snow, we get the wind and rain with possible tornadoes. Fun never stops around here.

Natural antenna masts, cheap too.

[N2CHX]

Not much to talk about from here in Buffalo. It's like Y2K all over again.

[KC2UGV]

Yeah... Normapocalypse here. We got 6 inches.

[N2CHX]

Yeah... Normapocalypse here. We got 6 inches.

I don't think we even got that much on my side of the city. Mostly just a thin coating of ice, not even enough to break a tree branch.

[NQ6U]

Gonna get up above 70°F (21°C) on the Islets of Langerhans by this weekend...
