Ice,Ice, Baby (You can have your snow)

Last year around this time we were getting our second of two 24" plus snow storms. Today we woke up to ice. Over 1/4" encases everything in sight. tree branches are popping and dropping along with the awesome sound of cascading ice crystals, one of which narrowly missed me while in my truck! here's a couple pictures I snapped off. they don't really tell the real story. Damn that Global Warming!!!

 

Wow, looks like you laid that clear coat on a little too thick. Shoulda taped off the antenna too. Don't worry, it'll buff right out.

 

It seems that when we get some winter weather its more often ice than snow. Be careful esp of the black ice.
I thought Al Gore said we wouldn't be having this type of weather any more. ???

 

We just got 12 more inches yesterday and last nite...must have gotten your share...

Ice storms are not fun...

Where is Neligh...???

R-

 

WOW. Theres 12'' of sunshine here in Los Angeles

 

Every year when we set new hi temps in the summer, the doom & gloom crowd chant their global warming mantra - where are they each winter as we set new lows?

Global warming is occuring, but man-made contribution is much, much less significant than the chicken littles make it out to be...

I'm snowed in with a fresh 19+" on top of the 18 - melt we had last week...I don't wanna hear about global warming anymore!

 

Northeast Nebraska, in the middle of a corn field right next to a feed lot behind a sale barn. I grew up in Omaha. They get ice too.

Hey, you don't have to drive the sun valley daggers in I spent 12 years there and got bored with the weather man. I miss the cars and the beach but change is good.

 

things are really wacked, I'm in Toronto and we havent got any snow yet this season. My cousin drives a snowplow and he only went out 3 times last year.

 

My cousin lives in Toronto also and the snow just past them by all my other family lives in London Ont. and they were hit hard a few weeks ago, but it all melted.

 

Ice is probably 1/2 inch thick now and 1 to 3 of the white stuff is expected to blanket it later. Tips of bows that soar 20-30 feet up in the air on my Black Walnut are now hovering 3 ft off the ground. The one over the garage seems to be holding strong. Good thing cause right below, under the roof is m y convertible (That won't shart! Normally I'd have 'er out on a day like this...Heh-Heh-Heh!

 

Oh man! I think I'd rather have snow.

Here is what my street looked like at 3:30pm Friday:

 

seeing that ice reminded me of a really bad ice storm we had growing up in indiana. i was a paperboy then and when i went to do my route, there was 1/2 inch of ice on everything so there was no riding the bike on that ****. well i folded my papers up and then threw them in the back of our caprice wagon and my dad drove me around while i tossed the papers out the back while sitting on the tailgate. i did a little bit of skating behind it too since it was basically an ice rink out there. lots of tire spinning and fishtailing

 

We had an ice storm here about a month ago no power for days trees and poles down all over. Generators and chain saws were in great demand some places were without power for over a week
Good luck

 

Well it's been 45 all week here in NY and next week 50.I'll take it

 

Is Fast Harry still bringing cars in? I stop and talk to him or Shane at the body shop next door whenever I p*** thru.If your down Omaha way stop in and say hi to us South Omaha Turds.We like talking cars.

 

Ice, isn't that the stuff you put in your drink to make it cold? What's it doing outside like that?

 

Back on line. Lost contact shortly after last post. Ice continued 'til we ended up with 3/4" or better. Things got ugly and aren't over yet. Every tree in town broke. no exageration. More later I'll post some pictures. I'm tired.
