Weather Hacks missed the forecast. For days they've been thinking that the temps would be above freezing, all we'd have is lots of rain tomorrow. About noon today, they changed the numbers... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b531/muzzle-blast/ice_zpsc5422ca0.jpg) 0.5" - 1.0" of Ice predicted tonight... If you've never been in an ice storm, everything greater than .5 is Bad juju. Last time it happened our power was out for days, some folks were in the dark weeks... This is what 0.5-0.75 of ice will do.. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b531/muzzle-blast/IMG_0061_zps41c6fb70.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b531/muzzle-blast/IMG_0062_zps706ea1ec.jpg) The constant sound of trees breaking is almost indescribable. It's as if the whole countryside is cracking walnuts for hours on end.. Guess if it happens, we'll just play Frontier Pioneer for a while...

I think we're supposed to mainly get snow. A bit of ice under it though. Hope it doesn't turn bad for you or me. You probably can't get a generator tonight.

10 minutes N. of Shawnee, OK... My dad was raised in Shawnee. Got lots of relatives in the red and white parts of that map. One of the worst ice storms I remember was in Ponca City in the early seventies. Good luck to you.

I replied smartassy before I really looked at the pics. Good luck to you!
