LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Well over a million people shivered in ice-bound homes across the country Wednesday, waiting for warmer weather and for utility crews to restring power lines brought down by a storm that killed 23 as it took a snowy, icy journey from the Southern Plains to the East Coast. But with temperatures plunging, utility officials warned that it could be mid-February before electricity is restored to some of the hardest-hit places.

Don’t forget the 2000 dollar FEMA cards. You might have to ask.
Al Gore is still running around and screaming like Chicken Little that the Global warming will kill us all.
What an idiot.
It’s called “climate change” because they don’t know which way the temperature is going to go. But they sure know it’s going to change - and it’s all our fault.
and into the frigid wasteland of what was once a proud, prosperous land, stepped...bladdiddy blah freaking blah.
The one good thing about being in Vermont is that we haven’t had any of those ice storms—yet. But the snow sure is piling up, and it’s been really cold. I think I’m going to run out of cord wood before it’s spring.
We spent most of the day shoveling, but by morning we’ll have to do it all over again.
I’ve been wondering if this might not be God’s reaction to Obama the Baby Killer.
The Dallas area should be ok by tomorrow afternoon. If the idiots will turn off their automatic sprinklers. Lots of buried power lines, not many big trees.
Not like the mess they have up in the Ozarks.
I’ve been through Ardmore a few times, but I don’t remember what they have in the way of trees and power lines.
Instead, what do we see this morning ~ he's laughing and joking about a "little bit of ice".
What a fraud this 0Bama is ~ what a terrible, nasty little man.
I’m real glad this storm missed us in southern Mi. We’ve had more than our fair share and then came the cold.
Get used to shivering or sweltering and sitting in the dark folks. Obama’s energy plans will assure that the price of electricity will become almost unaffordable and that there will be frequent blackouts while we wait for the windmills to turn or the solar cells to heat up.
Oh the tzar-chasm!
I can never understand why this country doesn’t convert to underground electic lines. Every winter we have this, every hurricane, every windstorm.
For what it costs repairing these lines/poles every damn time we could have put the lines underground 10 times by now.
Obama said thinks those who are freezing to death are all part of the ‘SACRIFICE’. Martyrs are very pleasing to ‘the one’ (piss and excrement be upon him).
One guy in NW Ark was told that it could be a month before his house was hooked back up. But I just went with what was in the AP story.
We had a cold front that decided to stay awhile. We lived in an old house that only had gas heaters but still stayed cold. We blanketed the doors off the living room and camped out. It was warm there but going to the bathroom was like stepping into a freezer. The kitchen was cold also but no one but me minded since I was delegated to bring food to the gang.
Sry: Obama ‘thinks’. Too exited on the keyboard, here. ;)
