Default Ice storm in Ohio!

Got power back last night before work.
Been out for 3 days.
What a great week.[:'(]
Now we're getting about a foot of snow.
They put out a level 3 snow warning, which means no non-emergency
vehichles on the road.
In about an hour I'm gonna warm up the truck and hich the plow and get ready to
make some money. This some weird weather for March.
But then again I've seen it snow in April before.[8D]

Where are you at? They were calling for an icestorm with 1/4 inch of ice here in lima, but all we got was freezing rain on the ground. They are calling for at total of 8 inches tonight and tomorrow though.


Edit: Here are a couple of pics of my backyard from the 05 ice storm:

Yep. Or drew, if you get hit by a twister, we can all cruise down there and rebuild your house before FEMA even knows a tornado hit (3-5 days.)

We've been pretty lucky here in Philly. Just a little snow here and there, nothing big at all. Probably the most we've had this year was 1", and it was only on the ground for a day.

Bring on the spring baby, I'm ready!!
