Hey Freepers in the path of stormagedden 2026....how ya doing?
Power outages? Impacts?
Here in north GA it's just a little chilly as we wait for the storm.
It’s not a farce simply because it isn’t affecting you personally.
I stated it was a farce here. Not elsewhere.
Omaha, NE
Cold all day both yesterday and today. Just a skiff of snow yesterday.
TODAY the furnace quit working this afternoon. Something about an inducer motor, needs to be replaced, if they can find a replacement part. Have a couple space heaters and electric blanket. At least we otherwise have power, water, internet, etc., etc. So we are lucky. I am wearing my clothes to bed tonight...... Oh, it is currently 7 degrees.
Hello??? It IS winter.
Fortunately it didn’t get bad here and we didn’t lose power. It got pretty bad in some places https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/complete-devastation-oxford-ms-mayor-075821078.html
A friend’s daughter is there are school, with no power and temps in single digits. They are saying it’ll be weeks before the power is back on. He’s going to try and drive there now to get her
It’s snowing again here in NH and it looks like we’ll end up with the forecast storm total of 12-14”.
I’ve been through one bad Ice storm in CNY probably 30 years ago that left the area looking like Nashville.
The hard part of all this is that the cold is going to stay so the ice isn’t going anywhere, and then there’s rumblings of a nor’easter in the not too far future.
Oh wow! Stay safe and warm!
I don’t mind snow too much, but even our snow often has a layer of ice underneath lol 🙄
It is....but here in the deep south we usually don’t get this cold. Temps tomorrow in the ATL around 5 or so...wind chill a bit less.
I got about a 0.25 at my place.
How’d ya’ll fare? We got about 0.25 of ice at my place.
We got very little, never lost power and the streets were clear this morning. Thank goodness.
Pretty much the same. Knocked the ice of the cars. Our roads were clear out of the neighborhood and surrounding areas.
Glad its over.
Did your dog get better?
Just a one time thing. Been good since. Thanks for asking.
