Another winter storm stretching from the Gulf to Maine is having a wide impact across the country just before Christmas. Tornado to rain to sleet, freezing rain and snow. What are you getting or what did you get from it.
Here we had a couple inches of snow Thursday night and then a misty rain freezing on all day Friday as the firemen fought the fire in my office building at home. Then overnight Friday all through Saturday it rained light rain. It had built up over a half inch of ice by evening and all the roads were shut down to normal traffic. We were expected to get rain all night and today on Sunday. Instead it turned to sleet at about 9 PM. We got an inch and a half of sleet overnight so that didn't build any more ice on the trees. It then rained for a few hours and left another quarter inch of ice on top of the sleet. The roads are passable now although treacherous and we have not lost power yet. In 1998 we had 3 inches of freezing rain and lost power for a week at my place.
Just a few more hours and we should be through it. I figure I will plow in the early afternoon so we can get out of the driveway. Sorry no pictures but the camera burned in the fire on Friday and my cell phone takes lousy pictures.
What's your story?
