Ice Time In Missouri
Re: Ice Time In Missouri
Well we were out power for about 16 hours and were the lucky ones, 60,000 on the local power grid without power, 40,000 surrounding without power. Got up this morning and like BioHazard all the ice was gone. There might be another wave tonight, local TV stations are out due to lack of power so news is sketchy.

Bet when she got to the door you were beaten about the head and neck. Tell her next time walk in the grass, safer than the concrete."The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

Re: Ice Time In Missouri
Talked to my brother in south eastern Kansas this afternoon, they get hit pretty bad as well, but they still have power where they're at, so all's good there.......... 
Re: Ice Time In Missouri
when we got hit in '98, i believe the ICE(not any snow) took about a week or two after we got power back to be all gone off the trees, and didnt melt off the ground till....well, spring.

Re: Ice Time In Missouri
Glad you guys are getting some relief. I work for an online travel agency and we have had a TON of calls over this ice storm. Luckily I am in training again for a promotion so I don't have to take them.

Re: Ice Time In Missouri
yeah... I live along the "I-44 corridor" that the weather folks always talk about. I managed to avoid the ice this time, but they are talking about significant snow fall this weekend... I just hope it holds off until Saturday afternoon, I have to run down and double check the cabin at the lake on Saturday morning.

Re: Ice Time In Missouri
Yea their saying possible significant snow accumulation this weekend. Hope it doesn't hit to early I have service calls to make Friday and Saturday, the ice made limbs rip power meters off houses, hit some computers with the power surge. One of my people it hit like every thing electronic in the house. Makes me glad I have so many APC UPS boxes, all the electronics covered to $20,000 connected to those.
