Ice

[Molaker]

We're getting ice in Fort Smith right now.  It's not particularly bad...yet, but it is starting to form on the trees and the forecast is for more of the same the rest of the day.  I refilled my MH LP tank (gen runs on LP) and topped off the diesel and we have plenty of groceries.  So, we're pretty much ready for the worst.  Been here, done that.

Best of luck!

So far, so good.

What is this 'ice' stuff of which you talk about

It's what you put in your tea, just a bit more wide spread and in smaller pieces.   My son had to walk to work this morning.  He couldn't get his 4WD F250 out of the driveway.  But, the power is still on at our house.  Others aren't so lucky.  There's pretty widespread power outages all over Fort Smith.  You can hear tree limbs popping all around and I expect it's just a matter of time.  At least, the ice has stopped.  Now it's just snow.

It was 83 today....beautiful weather, come on down and enjoy. Trying to talk my SIL and BIL in Dallas to come down.

If this weather keeps up I will be going south instead of west.  Just have to wait and see, I don't want to spend weeks in COLD.  Probably have trouble finding places in Florida now, people will be flocking down there.

I'm thinking we may look for a lot in Florida for the winter, thinking about it.

Tom goes cold weather won't bother me, he who has spent the last 13 years in the tropics.  I'm talking 9 degrees last night, he says oh it 90 today and toward the 70's last night.  Why do I NOT want to hear this?  But Houston isn't a warm place now either.

This sort of fits here as the discussion relates to cold and SNOW.  Here is a song about SNOW,

It's the little cold things we put in our tea, Tom!!! :

 

[SeilerBird]

Well I don't drink "adult beverages" nor do I drink tea, so I guess that is why I don't know what 'ice' is. 8)

"Ice" -- I've heard that some women use that term for small, hardened pieces of carbon. : ;D
