It's wet and gloomy here, and expected to get icy tonight. Right now, in the northwest and panhandle counties, they're reporting up to 1/2" of ice accumulation, with more to come.
Several years ago we had one of our periodic nasty-level ice storms, and it was a bitch. Up to several inches of ice in some areas, it not only took down power & phone lines, it took down the poles. A friend of mine lives about ten miles northwest of Oklahoma City, and she was without power for six weeks. When you consider that a lot of people in rural and farm areas get their water from a well, it gets worse: no power, no pump, no water.
Morning promises to be just a wonderful adventure. Bah, humbug.
What makes it worse is that if it drops to 55F, Steve will be bitching about the cold and wearing birds for warmth.
