Tomorrows forecast is for a 40 degree heat wave from this morning, people will be driving with their windows down here. I'm so excited to see 20*F.

Hang in there, Southern LOD contingent.

That weather is even all over the news up here. All I heard about this morning was abandoned cars, kids staying in schools. and the general mayhem you are experiencing.. I hope everyone is safe, and well stocked.

Stay home and catch up on Archer, if you haven't already.. :)

I hope you got bread, milk and eggs. No one goes up and down my hill when it is ice as well. We got an inch over night of snow, the road salt is not too effective at 8 deg.

Talk about a crazy rush hour(s). There's word that there are still people on the roads from yesterday's commute. I'm just glad I work a few miles from home.

I talked to my little sister about an hour ago. She's fairly well supplied, with the exception of milk. "the kids may be drinking heavy whipping cream for lunch.. but otherwise, we're good." :)

Of course she and her husband moved down there with their "Minnesota" vehicles - a 3/4 ton, 4x4 Suburban, and a Dodge Durango, also 4x4. I don't think she's got much to worry about..

Unless it is a monster truck that can crush and go over all the abandoned cars on the road it won't help much.

The roads up her way aren't terrible. They were rough last night, though! Unfortunately there isn't much open her way.

Yup Mike, it only takes an inch or two in very cold weather to be very slick. Do what we do in the north and stay home ;)

What I never stay home
You just becomes the norm.
Like when my road turns to ice I need to judge trajectory so I slide into my driveway and not the ditch.

Went to Walmart for a loaf of bread last night before the ice storm hit... Here's a couple photos of the slush. I think we have another couple hours before the storm passes. We still have power, and no trees are down.
