Supposed to reach upper 40's, chance of rain. That means snow for the mountains. Radar looks like they are already getting some.

Yeah, me too NS. The moving company can't come load until Wed. So that's putting me behind by a few days. I'm getting a discount rate on a backhaul so I can't complain too much.

They're still talking about freezing rain, but it's just cold water so far. The advisory has been shifted twice: it was supposed to expire at 8 AM originally, now it's 4 PM....

A-Ha! I believe I do detect tiny icicles growing on the trees and powerlines -- maybe an inch long.

That's right Nanook! A whole inch!

It seems to be a tad ugly here north of Augusta. It's the bridges and overpasses that'll get ya. Looks like I'm going to be late for work today.

Its going to be UGLY in lower MI the next few days. 3-6 inches of snow, sleet, and freezing rain on top of it. Yuck. I dread my short commute in the winter.


BTW, I love Buddur's posts on this thread. He's so chatty in the morning!

YAz... it's the cold air passing underneath... just like those hammocks, <VBG>

(and all those little icicles begin to add up.)

It seems like we've had much more ice than this without any major power outages.

It's supposed to warm up a little this afternoon, then it should all be gone. We get a tiny taste of freezing precip just once a year, usually. The ground is almost always too warm for anything to stick. We get actual Snow on the Ground once every 2 or 3 years and it's mostly gone the next day.

We did get over a foot of snow once... back in 1973. That was Insane, <G>

I remember the guys on the Weather Channel talking about 'thunder snow' a few years ago. As I recall, the atmosphere has to be pretty F'ed up for that to happen.

We do have a tornado watch southwest of here....
