Here's some pics of the damage from the ice storm that hit last night. It could have been a lot worse but it's still pretty impressive looking. In a way it's beautiful, except of course the pics of the limb on my car. Those suck.  :-\

Actually I don't think we have much damage at all. The car may be scratched a bit but other than that we made out pretty good. It could have been a LOT worse. Had it rained a few more hours it would have been UGLY.

Not all the time but in my part of the country we're too far South to get too much snow. Usually we get freezing rain which IMHO is worse. But most of the times these storms are small and the damage is limited, like the one last night. Occasionally, maybe once every 20 years we get a massive one. We had a massive one last year in the area, tens of thousands of people without power for up to two weeks. Fortunately, I missed that one last year, it literally missed us my a mile or so. This year we werent so lucky but this is a small one.

Spring is usually when we have our "wild weather". I live on the Eastern edge of "Tornado Alley" and tornadoes are fairly common in my part of the country. We've actually had a couple of outbreaks this year but usually they don't start until at least March.

Good topic for today. Here's a shot from 5 minutes ago. No the picture is not out of focus - it's just snowing that hard. 4 inches so far with 4-6 more inches before it quits.

Glad to hear there's not too much damage to you and your stuff. I've heard ice storms can cause massive devastation so its good you've come out relatively unscathed. Ice does make things look nice though, especially trees

That's a lot of snow. Usually when it snows around here it's enough to cover the ground. However, occasionally we'll get a good amount. Christmas Eve 2002 we had 13 inches of snow. And it was a complete surprise. We hadn't gotten our Christmas shopping done so we went to Wal-Mart and to the grocery store. We hurried and were on our way home about an hour later. The snow was already about 3" deep and I had to drive up a big hill with a 2wheel drive 3/4 ton Ford Pickup. Well I shouldn't say I drove, my wife(gf at the time) drove while I pushed and threw rocksalt under neath the tires.

Christmas day was kinda cool. We had just moved into town and didn't have internet and TV yet. This was also before we had a kid so of course we had to entertain ourselves that day.  :D The other 23 hrs and 58 minutes we just hung out. :o :o :D :D

It's a sunny day today here in our place. We have only two seasons, the dry season and rainy season. I took a picture using my cell phone after my daily jogging routine this morning. On the horizon (at the left side of the electical post) is Mt. Kanla-on volcano. It is an active volcano and just few days ago it was emitting smoke and last year we have experienced some ash fall. The volcano is more or less 50 kilometers from where I was standing when I took the pic.

Can you see the crater?

DTH, we got hit hard here in SE MO too.  We got lots of rain after the initial sleet.  There are 4-5 inches of ice in some areas.  I'll post pictures of my damage later today.

Thanks.  I'm fine, as is the rest of my family.

There are still about 18,000 people in my area without power.  I have a wood stove and a gas water heater, so I'm still in business.  My wife and I have six relatives living with us right now that are without any heat in their homes.

I have four 60ft. trees in my back yard, and three of them have lost their tops and large limbs.  I had some foresight last spring and cut down three large trees in my yard.  One was over my house and the other over my power lines.  I've lost a shed and a fence but, thankfully, there's no damage to the house.

It's still cold today but the sun is out, so hopefully some of the ice will melt.

That's a very famous volcano in the State of Washington! I've read in the news it's been continously erupting since 1980.

We are both residing in the vicinity of an active volcano, WhichDawg!
