It's sleeting out there now

...joy.

Huh? What?!
Good morning all
I slept in a bit, a little cooler this morn.




You take care of yourself and stay warm OBG

Morning Princess.

I will Thanks,I have no good reason to go past the door frames for the next few days

Me either!!

So I just stepped out the back door with my bronocks and looked at the power lines and their collecting ice quick,I can step out for fresh air the house has a 2 foot overhang and it's coming straight down so I have a little dry spot

I hadn't thought to do that...I'll go get mine.

I starting to want a root beer float and it's not even lunch time yet

I'm trying to finish up laundry.

I turned on the police scanner.
It doesn't reach too far, haven't heard a peep yet. Just some static.

Sounds like they are on top of it

Don't know if we even have plow trucks here Not much need for one.

Doubtful. You might have a brine truck...maybe.

I get weather watching naturally from my mother.
Remember Accu Ollie from Channel 4?? We used to call my mom "Accu Jack" (her name was Jacqueline).
If you needed to know the weather, just call her. She knew the conditions for the any of the areas where we had loved ones.
Back before the internet, and smart phones, my nephew in FL used to even call her.

It does.
Hope he can get off the lot there. It's a pretty steep uphill, and asphalt.
People have been known to park up on the road and walk down the hill at work.
They often have to salt the hill to keep it from icing. We've had semi's even have issues getting out before.

...it will be fine. It doesn't look too bad here yet.
I think as an absolute worst case, he may find some slick roads. He'll be fine.
Tonight....well, that might be an entirely different story line there.

I got stuck at a motel in an ice storm down there back in the early 80"s and when I called the county guy I was there to do a job for I ask when the road crews would get started clearing the roads,his answer was The Lord put it there and it's up to him to remove it.True story

OBG, I didn't look for your county, but here's MO.
Missouri Live Audio Feeds
If you find it, and they have one, you have to click the "play" symbol. It won't auto play.
