We Got Ice

United States
January 16, 2024 5:10am CST
Last night about 8:30, I began to hear pelts on the roof. So, I got up and looked out, my jeep was covered with ice. So yeah it's really cold.. We have power, so I'm cooking dinner at 5am. I notified my two sons in California that we were ok, and we had everything we needed. So soon as my dinner is done, I'll be headed back to bed. It's supposed to warm up some. So you all have a good day. Stay warm.

I hope that you survived the ice event and have power. We had sub zero temperatures last night and received another 4 or 5 cm of snow, and it is still coming down. Oh the 'joys' of winter.

We had frost this morning, but I don't like the sound of your weather!

No it was terrible. Sun melted some, but shaded places are still iced over.

Do your sons ever try to get you to move to California?

I know this cold and ice and snow are bad,I am used to it and our houses are well equipped to deal with these conditions,today its 30 below cel feels like- 42c So as you can guess I'm not going out if I don't have to.but my place is nice and warm. Trying to think on the bright side remember bugs don't like cold,so it should kill the flu bug.

Ice is bad news. I hate the cold and s**w; but ice is really dangerous and has a tendency to cause power outages. Have a good day and stay warm.

Brrrrrr. You're making me feel cold just reading this post. We haven't had any snow here, and it's actually sunny out! But they're having snow in Scotland and the North of England. I just hope it doesn't come down to us! I'd be too tired to cook dinner at 5:00am! I think going back to bed is a sensible move! I hope you are well. I hope you have a good day too, and you stay warm too.

Thank you, I'm afraid not to cook. I may lose power.. Hope snow don't come your way.

@popciclecold You're welcome. I've done some cooking today. But not at 5:00am in the morning! I hope snow doesn't come my way too!

Once I am up I can never think of getting back to bed. You are doing it I see.

Extreme cold weather can be very dangerous. Be sure to have everything you need and stay inside.

I'm sorry you had ice today. It's good to get your dinner ready now in case you lose power later.

Did you mean 5am or 5pm? I'm sure you enjoyed your dinner. It's cold here too but not freezing.
