Nasty ice....

[Pappy]

we got about 5 inches of snow today, and for the past few hours it has been slowly building up a layer of ice everywhere. they are saying we could see up to 1 inch of ice tonight:eek2:

its been 7 years since we had a decent ice event, and almost 25 years since I remember it being insanely bad. should make for some cool stuff to see tomorrow. right now its not ice or snow, just a heavy fall of fine sleet

[csimp3]

Here in Ohio today we got about 3-5 inches and now since about 7 pm its been raining and turning to ice. Now theres about an inch of ice on top of the snow. Just looked outside and it looks like a big sheet of ice.

Pappy, I hope your weather does'nt get too bad, Here's a few pics of our new year's eve 2006 ice storm. Some towns were without power for weeks. Crews still have tons of poles to replace.

That ice is probly the coolest thing ive ever seen.

[Guy400]

Here in NE Ohio we didn't get much ice but we got a bunch of snow in about a 8 hour period. It's hard to tell because of all the drifting but I'd say on average we've got over a foot. They're saying that we're supposed to get another 2-4 today.

[400exrider707]

I could barely lift my garage open this morning haha, the snow was piled about half way up, then I looked at the snow, and the roof of my truck, and then at how low the garage is....hmmmm

Had be pretty careful not to scrape the roof of my truck because there was so much snow right outside the door! Still snowing pretty bad, supposed to get something like 3 feet I guess... still not that bad

[Mxjunkie]

[quads14589]

[CRich[814]]

[Pappy]

Speaking of closings, I'm suprised we didn't have school today.:rolleyes:

We got a new superintendant and he's totally anal about snow days. The past 2 snow storms we got he kept the school open for, and 5 seniors totalled their cars, 2 of which collided with our school buses. All together we had 9 accidents this winter... Bet he feels like a douche now. :mad:

[JRP]

we got about 1in of ice on the roads, and about 2in of just sleet. We are off today, and most likely wont have school tomorrow.:)

[wvspeedfreak]

Yeah,this stuff sucks to ride in but it still beats going to work :D I had to practically sit on the grab bar and ride a gear high just to keep any traction at all.I'm ready for spring :)

[ny300exrider]

here on long island we got about an inch of snow/sleet on the roads this morning and now im looking out the window at school and its like a monsoon...pouring rain. word is that temps are going to drop and its going to freeze.....if thats the case, things will get interesting to say the least. im just pissed cause i havnt gotten a good snow ride in once this year.

[derekhonda]

college was cancelled today. first time in 12 years IU shut down. bad ice storm here too.

[JRP]

i talked to my dad around 8 this morning, he was at work for an hr already, and he said that it was a PITA getting to work. Alot of his employees did not show because of no power, down trees, and couldnt make it up the hills. There were 4 ppl stuck in my neighborhood today, thats insane. Its snowing now:devil:

Same here. We had a bad storm at about the beginning of December and we had to go to school.

6 people (including me) wrecked their cars, 3 buses went off the road, and right before you get to my school there is a big hill you gotta climb. Well, a bus got stuck on it and was there for like an hour trying to get up the hill. The roads were nothing but ice.

Now, if the roads are bad and he doesn't cancel I just don't go. I refuse to drive on this crap.

[Pappy]

the wind is here now. easily gusts into the 50-60 mph range.

i thought someone ran into the house when it first it!
