Midwest ice/snowstorm

[maudeispam 2]

Our misery started around noon Sunday. First rain, then freezing rain, then sleet, then more freezing rain, then sleet, then wet heavy snow and blizzard conditions. Temps in the teens and no heat or electricity till late last night. Several tree limbs down, electric wire to garage down, tail light of my PT Cruiser busted out, but we weathered the storm just fine. Some advice to people east of the this nasty, evil storm. Stock up on batteries, flashlights, food you can eat out of the can or box, have an emergency plan, alternative heat source, (other than electric or natural gas), Water, money, etc. BE PREPARED for the worst! I grew up in Michigan and lived through some NASTY blizzards, but this one was one of the worst I have ever saw! Best of luck to you all.

Wow I feel for you.. The worst we got in my area was high winds. Tore the lining of the car port and a couple of poles came down. I have not looked at our truck yet but hoped it is not scratched. Anyway keep warm and hopefully the sun will come out soon and melt that mess away..

Pam, I saw something about this horrible weather - early this morning on the tele. I thought I heard it hit northern Texas?? ...which is where serveral LBT members live.

What part of the country are you?

We got hit Saturday, they closed the airport in and re-routed us to a different airport with a "good luck finding your own way to where you were going."

Saturday we had white-out conditions and it's snowing again.

Oh great. It's supposedly headed our way. No wonder it was gorgeous out yesterday and freezing cold out again today.

We just went shopping today, so at least we're stocked up on food.

My goodness, a "white out" is only something Ive heard about.

We get snow on the average of 1 every 10 years... I cant even possibly imagine a WHITE OUT!

I am located in Mitchell, South Dakota. It is 62 miles west of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. (Right on Interstate 90).

We had a tornado touch down Sunday. A tornado in freakin' November...

Shoot I would just settle for some rain. I thought I heard the weather guy on channel 5 say the other day that we would not get any rain in the DFW area for the rest of year??? Ouch!! Although I do feel for the banders and family's in the path of the blizzard and hope everybody comes through just fine.
