Wow! Here is PA not too far away we are almost going to hit 70 degrees today!
...just a little fog here in soviet Red Hampshire...
We had an ice storm warning but never got the ice in my neck of the woods. Now its just wet with temps falling.
Prayers up for the 95K and all the utility workers working to restore electricity.
Toronto getting hammered now- power outages all over town, streetcar service suspended due to iced-over power lines.
I believe that upstate New York Americans can handle a good winter. They are used to things like that.
After the squall came through last night, here in Central Louisiana, we expect a balmy, cloudy 70 degrees.
I went to college in Canton, they shut the school down and sent us home when the temperature was 35 degrees below zero.
95,000? In three states? Is that all?
I feel sorry for them, but they live up north and should be prepared for this kind of weather.
We had over 250,000 without power in just the Dallas-Fort Worth area of North Texas from one ice storm 2 weeks ago. Of course, things are bigger in Texas, but maybe this headline was to attract viewers and readers?
(Anyone who lives in North Texas should be prepared, too!)
west Michigan - about a inch of ice, some places more. No wind thankfully. Lots of power outages, we lost our but thankfully it was only for about 4 hours.
It is impossible to maintain control of your car, 4WD or not. Even if you drive slow, you have to worry about the other guy losing control and slamming into you. When there is ice storm in your area - stay home!
But even staying home can be miserable too. Listening to the tree branches in your yard crack under the weight of the ice and falling into the yard - or on your house. Seeing the lights blink off and on in your house until they go out for good.
Then you have to spend several days with no electricity because the utility crews are overwhelmed and need to call in reinforcements from other states. Having to go out in the freezing cold every six hours to re-fuel the generator (if you are lucky to have one) and take cold showers.
Hell, give me four feet of snow over an ice storm.

Better get used to sitting in the dark shivering once the EPA closes more coal fired electric generating plants to save us from global warming
South of the front in the Southern Tier, it’s 59. About 15 miles away over the Chautauqua Ridge in Silver Creek, it’s 37. On the right side of things — for once.
