Hmm, could be a little heavy. At least a boat doesn't have to have an engine in it to be of any use.

It's a new storm that formed off the Gulf of Texas, John Belski has been warning us since Thursday. Last night he said it appears the storm will follow the number three track, which will be to our East.

The freezing fog has added another dimension to our road hazards.

"Eastern and southeastern KY have the best chance for snow with the Monday system. The 12Z NAM & GFS continue the trend to keep most if not all of the snow east of us with several inches over the mountains. If the models don't trend back west by tomorrow then it's over for us......and we really don't need this snow while so many areas are having to deal with the ice storm aftermath."

John and Tom Wills (Still can't believe TOM'S there!)

At wave3 did say it was coming--my god its insane.. Been watching the video and stuff from the Courier Journal and stuff--my Sister lives off Westport Rd--they have power at least...

But its bad.. Bad enough to call the ENTIRE KY National Guard for the first time ever for a local event. nuts...
LG&E still say 7 days to go--as the ice melts, the tree limbs covered with ice snap back, tripping the circuits AGAIN!

ugh.. just a mess.. I saw the ice coming too--was hoping it would either convert or be quick. Ice storms are nasty... from Mother nature OR an evil Mage!

But at least with hurricanes we can watch them coming for several days beforehand...

Was talking with my dad, he's a maintenance man down in Ky, and the complex he works for has trees everywhere. Him and his coworkers had to go cut down the trees themselves. He started laughing about it, said when he cut the branches off, he expected the trees to bend back, but they didn't, one almost fell on him so he dropped the running chainsaw and ducked out of the way.

Scary stuff.

I experiencing the Ice storm in Ottawa some years back. Actually, I was delayed by a day, coming back from California. I was lucky, my power was only out about 6-7 hours, the day I was to return. Others were much worse off.
I'm glad the power lines in our area were buried.

If you're interested, you can read about it in the Guinness book of records.

Oh God.

I can seriously say I'm tired of pedestrian transportation and winter. That 'snow storm' we were supposed to get just turned out to be some mild snow. Went to walk to work and almost busted my ass five times, well, the sixth time did it.

Five years back I blew out my right knee, now I've blown out my left. Hit a patch of ice that I didn't see and my leg turn a sharp turn inward and popped that SB right out of place. Had to straighten my leg and push it back into place.

Crap like this scares me, I'm afraid if this ever happens again, I might never be able to walk again, ugh.

Damn, Gangrell! Sorry to hear that... I prescribe sun and sand on a tropical beach. Along with sufficient refreshments to dull any pains...

If you can't hit the beach, I hope you're able to rest it up enough to heal.
