Joe,

 JM>   We had an ice storm around the 10th, then we had snow on top of that.

  That's as bad as just an ice storm only.

 JM> We had about a quarter inch of ice under that snow.  The first one was
 JM> about a half inch, then a second storm of about three inches, and a
 JM> lighter one on top of that.

  Ouch.

 JM>   Its been below freezing since the 10th.  The ice we had then is still
 JM> there.

  It is finally getting above freezing during the day, but it's still going
below freezing at night.

 JM>   Many ice covered trees have fallen, knocking out power, travel
 JM> difficult outside the urban areas.

  Same here. The region has had to deal with numerous wrecks, abandoned
vehicles, rolling blackouts, and running out of water.

 JM>    But to warm back to normal this coming week.

  It can't come soon enough to get out of the deep freeze. Folks down here
don't know how to drive in this stuff...never mind under regular conditions.

Daryl

.... There will be a rain dance Friday night, weather permitting.
