Lawton/Duncan/Marlow/Rush Springs area checking in! Brrrrrr! Wind is howling. There's at least a quarter inch of ice on the branches of the bushes next to the house. Patchy snow in the backyard. The dish satellite has icicles about three inches long hanging off of it. I just noticed the old cable wiring leading into the house has ice accumulation of close to half an inch hanging off of it.
Looking at current radar we'll probably get more freezing precip even though nothings happening at the moment.
I'm a little concerned about the ice accumulation on the tree branches and power lines.
Poor fiance is out in this since he's a self employed heat and a/c guy. We've had such nice weather people haven't run their heat and they're finding they have none. Since it's supposed to get down into the teen's tonight he's running calls. I don't know whether some of the other hvac companies are shut down or not since some of them are storefronts.
Our old dog has a hard time with the ice on the steps so she's decided to hold on as long as she can. The lab bounds down the steps so doesn't really make enough contact to do any skidding on the ice. The terrier mix loves the snow and wants to play in it. The cat is curled up on 'her' nest of pillows in the living room.
Me <--- two pairs of socks with lambswool leather shoes on and feet are still cold. Sweats and my heavy fleece robe as well as the silk longjohns so I'm all layered up. When I take the dogs out I add my coat.
