Final Approach
From the National Weather Service:
ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF ONE QUARTER TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH WILL BE LIKELY BY SATURDAY MORNING. ADDITIONAL ICE ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR THROUGH SUNDAY WITH TOTAL ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF ONE HALF TO ONE INCH EXPECTED WITH LOCALLY ACCUMULATIONS AROUND AN INCH AND A HALF.
THESE ICE ACCUMULATIONS WILL LIKELY CAUSE WIDESPREAD POWER OUTAGES. TRAVEL CONDITIONS WILL BECOME TREACHEROUS IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE BY TONIGHT.
THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR THIS MAJOR ICE STORM.
Everything is already covered with ice here, and the precip is getting heavier.
Usually, our little farm is the last to get power again when the whole area loses power. Time to dig out the kerosene lamps and candles. Sure wish we had a fireplace. The stove-top burners will at least keep the kitchen warm.
I think I can hook up my laptop to the phone line and get on-line till my laptop runs out of juice. If you don’t hear from me for awhile, that’s why.
Tom picked a good time to be gone.
Y’all be careful out there!
