Ice is BAD. Coats the trees. Trees fall down on power lines. I'd much rather get snow. We've been lucky down here just south of you JD. No real icing here yet.

Ice downed several trees in the area and now power has been out for hours. Thank god for gas heat and stove

We lost power for a couple of hours yesterday; I assume it was either ice on the lines or a car slipped on ice and hit a pole. Odd thing was, it had only just started to freeze when it happened. Our power company sends texts for power outages. This happened about 1 PM. They said we should be back on by 4. Then they sent an update saying it would be 10 PM. Then power was restored at 3 PM. The house was still fairly warm at that point, but I was looking at cooking dinner over the gas grill outside. For us, the ice could have been much worse. Seems to have warmed more than expected today.

Don't envy ya, what is it with our fellow Oregonians and not being able to drive in snow?? I always laugh at the jackasses that try and pass the plows.

We had another ice storm during the night. My wife got up to let the dogs out, I wish I had seen it. Anyway, we had 4 inside dogs and the 3 on the porch, and they all hit the top step at the same time. All of them tumbled and they ended up in one big furry ball at the bottom of the stairs. Of course it was just as funny she said, to watch them try to get back up. We covered the stairs with straw and they all made it back up. Where is my shovel.......
