We are under warning for a major ice storm from now until midnight Sunday. It has been freezing drizzle all morning and supposed to get heavier this afternoon. They are saying at least an inch of ice which means lots of power outages. That would mean no heat for me! (and lots others)
Please keep us in your prayers. This looks like it could be a bad one. :(
prayers on the way! keep safe and warm! It's -22 here right now. gawd, I hate winter. :(
Oh, Connie, I saw this on the news earlier.
Please keep checking in with us so that we know you are alright!
xxoo Gini
I'll pray everyone shall be safe and sound,
I feel sorry for people with exotic pets like reptiles, with the power out how shall they keep there little critters warm?
Same goes with tropical fish tanks, I don't think many people are prepared for these kinds of things.
Prayers- and get things ready- the wood for a fire- and back up to eat. We use out gas grill so make sure the tanks are full to cook... Pull water incase the power goes out ( we have a well which needs power) and lock down the house-
the same storm is heading out way so I will be watching.. Keep us updated if you can..
:) Yes Kansas & Oklahoma is to get the worst.. They even have us in the ice storm.. Just like we need another one of those :rolleyes: .. As if Mother Nature even asked us for permission.. Prayers to all from my household..
They just said this may be the worst one we've had ever!!! :eek: I just checked the weather channel's site. They are saying it's going to be a crippling ice storm. :(
I remember a really bad one about 10 years ago. I sat there in the dark listening to what sounded like gun shots. It was tree branches breaking. I had an old furnace then but it was gas and stayed on so at least I was warm. One of the neighbor's car was crushed by a fallen tree branch.
I hate winter too!!!! :(
Yikes! Ice storms are the WORST! Keep safe, warm and dry.
My In-laws are in Lenexa, and Mom said it is all over the news that it is supposed to be awful! Our prayers are with all you! Stay safe and make sure you are equipped with extra blankets,candles ,canned food ,batteries, pet foods, jugs of water etc. Please keep us posted.
Oh no, I hope you stay safe and warm! This has really been a bad year for Colorado/Kansas. I hope spring comes early.
I just had a look at a sattelite image of USA - good grief! It's one big grey cloud, except for Florida and California. MOFF, I hope you'll be safe and warm! Get your candles burning, put the wollen socks on and make yourself a hot drink! :)
Run a few gallons of water into bottle or even pans for now, so if the power goes out, you'll have that. Get out your matchs, test batteries in flashlights, and locate candles while it's still daylight, put 'em on the kitchen table - or some other obvious place. Is your stove electric or gas? If it's gas, maybe make some dough to stick in the refridgerator that you can bake in the gas stove even after the power has gone out.
If you make all these preparations, maybe the power will stay on!
You can help keep the lines to your own house safe by going out every hour or so and shaking/knocking the ice off the lines, and off any branches that hang over them.
Stay warm and safe, and we'll be thinking of you!
:) Thank you Karen.. Yes I have learned all of those cautions & preperations.. I start getting bedding thick for the outside dogs.. I keep them in warm food & water.. Then I make sure to get the indoors all set up with plenty of all kinds of food for the girls & me.. Yes I am lucky I have a gas oven & range..Quote:
