    Ice Storm's a coming

    Starting tomorrow here in Oklahoma we are supposed to be getting freezing rain which can accumulate to an inch or better on power lines. So I expect to be out of power for the next 3 to 10 days. I have a generator but it doesn't power the whole house. So if you wonder why I am not folding it is because of no power. i can only pray they get my power back on in a timely manner.

    I hope it all goes well with the storm - stock pile water,food,whisky,gas and batteries,but you probably already did anyway.
    Don't worry about not folding for a few days,just make sure you get a bigger
    generator soon j/k
    Best of luck

    Oh fun. Had a storm like that here in Ohio a few years ago. That was fun (not).

    Stay safe.

    Ice Storm stayed south of me. No power loss. Just a pretty 8" snow. Yeah.

    12" of snow here, but it was a nice dry fluffy snow. No outages. I'm lookin for a slice of pie.

    Stupid snow, no outages I just can't find my car, and I even don't remember where I parked it, but is funny to walk around every heap of snow and clean alittle bit to see if it's mine ... I can't measure it in inches but probably feet or yards ... god damn Europe
