Foxx 13,550 Posted December 1, 2019 i hope we don't end up like we did back in '91 but it is looking pretty icy out there right now. couple this with the several inches of snow we are supposed to get overnight and it could be quite messy out there come tomorrow. i think we had something like.75 of an inch back then and today we are forecast to get something like, .50 of an inch at most, so hopefully we don't relive that nightmare that left many without power for up to two weeks.

BUFFALOKIE 424 Posted December 1, 2019 Literally 3-4 inches of ice here in 2009. I think we had 2-3 inches in 2007. You guys think you get the toughest weather, HA! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, child......blizzard of ‘77 was THREE straight weeks, and we didn’t have to make it up. Senior year of HS. My family had just moved about 500 yards to a new place, but I had the old place partially furnished available for me and my friends. Let your imagination run wild, and I doubt you can come close! 😋 2 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean........ Don’t worry, you can’t hurt my feelings. I know I’m old, mostly because @plenzmd1 keeps reminding me. At my age you need constant reminders... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We got our power back the 2nd day. woke about 3 AM to what sounded like breaking glass over and over. When I realized it was coming from outside I looked out the window to see branches falling and the ice shattering as it hit the ground, it was wild.
