My first day home and so far, over a foot of snow and still coming down. The two peacocks I mentioned a couple months back, are now holed up under my truck. I took pity and put some dog food out for them. They cleaned their plate.

Keep warm Patch.

Two hours later and WOW! Hope you are making out ok Patch, so far so good here! Hubby and I are betting on what happens first, power outage or the huge tree at the back of the house starts dropping branches! Be safe!

 

[Patchouli]

@Pearl I sure hope you don't get any cracked trees or fallen branches. I've got some skinny tall worthless oaks around the house...hope they stay put too. Honestly have never gone through a power outage because of an ice storm, as far as I can remember. knock on wood. Plenty of ice storms though.

Three or four years ago we were out for 4 1/2 days. We can do it, but would rather not!!

The low is 63F & High will be 70F.

 

[Patchouli]

Even though it sounds like bacon frying when I open the door, I hope it changes over to snow soon. I get the impression that will not happen until 7 a.m.

⬅ bacon . ❄ not the same.

 

[dademoss]

30 degrees, we are currently in the rain/sleet/ice accretion phase, probably flip over to snow soon.

 

[Pearl]

Just snow now here! 19°, everything covered in ice! Had to put on the local news to watch the few who are on the roads! Always entertaining!

 

[Acdoctor]

40 degrees +pouring rain. I’m staying in the dry today.

 

[Bacpacker]

46 this morning with .87" of rain over night. May get up into 60s in the afternoon. Looking for up to 2 more inches of rain by the time it quits tomorrow

 

[Morgan101]

We are in the midst of it. Yesterday we got 1/2 inch of ice and a couple inches of snow on top of it. Temp is currently 15, and we are supposed to get another 3-5" of snow. It is definitely Winter.

P.S. The dogs were NOT happy about going outside this morning. It is still coming down pretty hard.

 

[Amish Heart]

It is 7 degrees out this morning, and will be going down to negative 5. Not going out to play today

 

[Pearl]

Snowing like crazy, just got in from feeding and playing! Hit the sled hill a few times!

 

[hashbrown]

It’s pretty here this morning.

 

[phideaux]

@hashbrown , y'all got snow , we got freezing rain.
We suppose to get snow this evening and tonight.

That is pretty. I remember taking my little .410 out and rabbit tracking in the snow , in West KY, when I was a boy

Stay warm and safe.

We got freezing rain yesterday snow came last night. We have to go shovel Alexandra's mom and dad out this afternoon. When I was a kid every snow that came we were out rabbit hunting. With no one trapping anymore the coyotes are so thick you rarely see a rabbit here anymore.

 

[phideaux]

Whatever y'all get , we usually get the same thing later on. Snow coming here later. We got super high wind , straight outta the North.

This is us right now.
Front and rear of house.

Just ice.

I was going to tell you to drag that avatar picture over a little, your wife is beautiful, what a smile!!

 

[Weedygarden]

For all the ice that everyone is getting, do you use de-icer on your walks? I keep a 5 gallon bucket of it on my front porch. Someone did tell me that it is hard on concrete, but I don't have concrete walkways. Mine are all flagstone, from 100 years ago. Maybe de-icer is hard on flagstone as well, but I haven't seen any damage, other than when a tree guy dropped a branch and cracked it. jerk

We have some on hand, but rarely use it. Will warm up in two days and melt it. We used it last year when we had nearly two weeks below freezing. I use my snake killing scrapers to scrape the ice off the walks!

 

[Mountain trapper]

Doing a little cleanup. Sometimes its hard to find the road in the open areas like this.
This is a typical snowfall for us.

 

[Peanut]

65 degrees, calm right now but major thunderstorms will be here in a couple hours. The man on the tv said it'll be window rattling thunderstorms and high straight line winds. Oh, goodie!

Rain continues through the night into tomorrow.

 

[phideaux]

Sleeting hard now.
wind is really strong.
it will take a day to clean up the yard. Limbs are down all over.
power flickers once in a while.

We use de icer. The grandkids know the drill to clear a path from the door to the truck, and clear off the truck. Then they salt the path. Bummer is, it all gets drug in. The kids are pretty good about leaving their boots outside, but husband just came in and his shoes, the wheels on the walker drug in snow and salt. Made the mopping I did this morning a waste of time. A sunny 12 degrees out right now. I think that's as good as it gets today.

 

[txcatlady]

Just tiny sleet here and some wind. Husband insisted that I take him to bank in town south of us so he could deposit a transfer of funds. 34 when we left. Took interstate highway to go and come. Back in hour and temperature dropped to 32. Think it is 29 now and will continue to drop. Did feed cows before I left. Some ice is forming with the mix of rain and sleet. Don’t want to mess up kitchen in case power goes out so I am trying to let my bread maker mix and rise bread and then bake in oven. Stay warm all

 

[WVDragonlady]

Rained all day here so far. In the low 40's.
Tonight after midnight supposed to switch over to freezing rain then sleet then snow with the temps dropping all day tomorrow
