Good deal Dave. Property damage sucks.

I'm ready for that sun to climb high and help me out. Salt is working but not very fast unless you dumped at silly heavy rates. Traffic is starting to melt our lots and roads. Bring on that sunshine so I can go nap. Handing my phone to my son because school was cancelled. He can answer calls and wake me up. 😁

All schools canceled up here. She's been pumping 3600 gal/hr. since late yesterday afternoon as it transitioned from 50* to 10*, through the night🤣

I used to love listen to it...until we adopted a basket case of a dog. Now thunder comes with a shaking, slobbering, panting, bad breath 50 pound weight on my lap.
You try that thunder vest that they have for dogs? I thought it was gimmicky but it actually worked for our shepherd when we first moved down here. She started getting separation anxiety. Put that on her and it calmed her right down. Did it for a couple months whenever we left and after that she didn’t need it anymore.

Quite the thunder ...& lightning indeed. I was just reviewing my security cams recordings, watching the deer activity in the yard & I noticed this ..... there were two different very close lightning strikes & each time, all my solar lights , even though they all had used up their power earlier, there is enough intensity in the lightning to activate them all .....

This is what we have to look forward to after it’s rained most the night starting around 2:30am. It’s tracking to the NE so everyone in the line will stay in the line😳🙄😐

Weather people are useless. I've seen 4-8" for Wed-Friday. I've seen "an inch or two with .5"-1" ice". Our local news just stated 2-4" with some of it being a mix. This one seems most logical. And just south of us is 1-2" one county away. Guess which ones spewed the biggest reports? AccuWeather and Weather channel. Fear mongering. I swear they must get kick backs from the grocery stores.

We are within an hour or so of precipitation hitting us. I'm still not sure what to expect. They are talking snow, freezing rain, sleet. . .we will be flirting with the snow/mix line all night. Local meteorologists didn't help with his 5pm news forecast. Saying 1-2" with up to 2/10" icy glaze. Guess I'll be up all night and deal with whatever comes our way.
