severe ice threat


I always enjoy those yearly threads where John has to battle mother nature. I like the pictures of snow up to his eaves. Pictures of his vehicles buried. The stories of how many days to dig out.

This time is different. Ice ain't nothing to play with. I hope you boys are ready and preped. Be sure to keep us updated. If you don't post we'll know your elec is out.

Mainly don't suffocate, trying to keep warm. Carbon monoxide is deadly.

Hope to see ya Sat.

JR, I lived in Florida for 14 years, and when I left and came to Indiana, the average IQ in both states went up 5%

Dennis, it's downhill all the way to the Ohio river. If I can get the truck headed South.....

Sure hope it misses scottsburg,setting targets in the snow was rough ,cleaning up after a ice storm will be 5 times the work especially if more trees fall across the pathways.

Looks like we're gonna be a little warmer than they thought last night. Not much chance of ice down here.

John the bad thing is when the 25-30mph. winds start blowin trees are gonna fall.

Dennis, the only part that concerns me, is that inch of ice killing the power grid. REMC should start getting the linemen sober now....

Time to put on a pot of ham and beans, stoke the woodstove, and hunker down with a book.

I'm at work today and due to the weather, it will be a sort of "easy day". About 6 hrs worth of work to do but between jobs I can shoot arrows in the shop.Only 10yd shots but just going thru the motion can't hurt one's form.We've got only a very light skiff of ice and the roads have enough salt on them already , so, it's not a big deal.Just 3 miles north of here the county roads are a bit rough.

Yep, Cowles called this morning and said John was without power but had the wood stove fired up and was cooking beans and ham and reading a book.If we don't hear from him soon, I'll be putting together an expeditionary force to go find him. As in Stanley and Livingston. I don't want him to be forced to eat the cat. Wait, he doesn't have a cat............... oh no !
