Asking for prayers for us down here in the Deep South, as we are expecting a severe ice storm. This will be especially hard on us old folks.

Ice Storm
- Thread starter easternstar
- Start date
I am definitely in it. It must be serious because Georgia power has been cutting trees like crazy last few days.
Wont be too bad here in Central NY - no more than 20 inches of snow expected this weekend.
But we are in first place for the Golden Snowboard Award
Now if you go North a bit and you live in the Tug Hill area.......
Compared to Anchorage, Alaska - which averages only 78' of snow /year!

Remarkably, we still have power, but there's still another round or two to come, in a couple of hours or so. This mess expected to be out of here by about noon Sunday. We've got our generator on stand-by.
My generator is on standby as well.
Me too! Ice just started falling here in NC about 15 minutes ago.

Power out, running generator. Several big tree limbs have fallen, and a smaller one on house top. We have large trees around our house, and one large limb hanging over one room. This is very scary. Several more hours of precip to go, then turning much colder, and winds up. I hope and pray we survive.
No power for 24 hours. Freezing cold in the house. Can't get down the driveway. All roads. Are closed. Wearing 4 sweaters and 4 pants . Glad to have grandmothers quilts. Several. Brother and I will sleep fully clothed together in deceased parents king sized bed. Sat in car for a while for heat
Won't have electricity back till Tues our weds. Just pray for haste with the power

We're still here. Went outside after daybreak to survey the damage. In addition to what I said in my last post, we have some large limbs hanging by a thread, very close to the house. If they fall, could be a major problem. No telling when power will be restored. Not getting above freezing until mid-week.
