Ice Storms

[squeezy]

Yes ... I checked your location ... you're not to far from Bubba ... perhaps we can have a little get-together come summer ... eh?

 

[richtee]

Indeed... Ahhh- summer! :{)

I would love to! I love severe weather! I do want you all to stay safe.

If it makes you all feel any better this weather system you are experiencing right now will be here saturday. No I won't be getting an ice storm but I have a kayak fishing tournament that day and the winds are supposed to be out of the north at 20 knots with a 30% chance of thunderstorms. I usually would not fish a day like this but with a good plan maybe I can get in the money with a good placing. Should be a good challenge. I might have to wear a jacket ;)

They dont know about our lightening

Lightning capitol of the world here. Nuff said. Therefore paddling in the middle of a bay with 4 graphite lightning rods is generally not the best thing. Its going to be a fun day.

My wife and I decided to come to Omaha last night and spend today doing our Christmas shopping. I just looked at the car and it's covered with between a quarter and a half inch of ice. There is still precipitation coming down that keeps changing between snow, sleet and freezing rain.

Shopping isn't may "thing" anyway, so this REALLY makes it a lovely day.

A lot of the Tulsa and OKC area have been without power since Sunday. I know several members are from the Tulsa area. We have been spared in Northern OK. We got mainly sleet and has warmed up enough to be rain and not freezing.

EEEEeeekkk. Sounds a bit rough. A good day by the fireplace with a good book sounds in order. Be safe everyone!

 

[flash]

Maybe, but if it does arrive, it will keep TS Olga far to our south. And that's a good thing.

Everyone stay safe ... sounds rough ... just snow here.

I wish that ts would come here. We need the rain in a major way. Olga as she is now would be fun.

 

[got smoke]

Has everyone up there checked in and let us know they are ok? Cowgirl?

 

[flash]

Got that right. I think it is our only choice. That Ice Storm is heading NE, best we might see is some wind.
good luck to all of those stuck in it though

Howdy all, we are under quite a bit of ice here in Topeka. As I type this I can hear limbs snapping and falling. In fact, something hit my roof right overhead and woke me up this morning.

I have taken several pics and will get them uploaded soon. Thankfully what power we did lose was short lived and happened while we were all asleep.

 

[ajthepoolman]

Well I tried to upload larger versions on these into the gallery, but I don't think I am doing it right.

Anyway, below are some smaller versions of the pictures I took Tuesday morning.
