It's 23 and has been sleeting/freezing rain since 8:45 last night. Thank goodness it is not accumulating beyond the couple of inches on the ground, but you can't shovel this crusty stuff.

I think that it is changing to snow.

The university is closed as are all area schools. We don't have snowplows to handle this. One of my neighbors came by with a tractor an hour ago and that is the only vehicle that has been through my subdivision.

Frankly I would have preferred the 15 inches of snow that they were forecasting instead of this icy stuff. BLECH!

Hi, Marm!!! I agree. I'd rather have the snow than the crunchy, slippery ice. Actually, I'd prefer neither one.

Agree Ladytex, tonight and tomorrow morning is going to be horrible. We are now starting to get some light sleet, but nothing compared to what is coming on the radar. School's and businesses jumped the gun on this one about closing down today. Someone here at work who's mother lives in Wichita Falls said that they had to remove some branches from the trees, in fear of them snapping onto the house. She said that there is an inch of ice wrapped around the branches. They've been getting it all day though, it has just been hovering up north.

The storm has started. Cars were sliding on the roads. The snow is pretty but trechrous.

Well, I have been hearing the ice hit the window all evening, so I had to go outside and take a look. Oh my gawd! I would say there is probably about 1/4 inch of ice on the car, and it's not letting up.

It's 27 degrees right now and they say that the ice is not going to stop until around 2am. There is still a chance for snow which will suck on top of the ice.

It's gonna be scary in the morning. Wishing good travels to anyone who has to get out tomorrow who is going thru the same thing.

I hate ice storms! We have a storm warning for 24 hours with up to 10 in. of snow to fall and it's started.

Ditto what Z said about safe travels for everyone!

10 inches of snow so far and it's still coming down. I won't be getting to Springfield today.

Colossus' parents live in Mountain Home, Arkansas. They have been buried under an inch and a half of ice since mid-day Monday and it was still coming down when we spoke to them last night. They haven't had power since 9 a.m. yesterday morning and probably won't have power until Friday or so, but they have a wood-burning stove that is keeping them toasty and enough candles and batteries to keep them playing cribbage for the next couple of days so they are content.

21 here this morning. The roads weren't too bad, though. We must not have gotten as much precip as predicted. I park in the garage, so my car was fine, but the ones on the streets are covered with ice ...

It was snowing this morning and the roads were really bad when I left the house at 5:45am. Have I ever mentioned how much I DETEST snow?

I can't wait till February 17th, I will be in sunny Florida, and away from this disgusting weather.

It is snowing in Boston, but by 1:00 pm it is supposed to change to sleet/freezing rain and then rain. The evening commute will be a mess. Ginger do you have room in your suitcase for me? I DETEST snow as well

I live in northern ky and the weather is terrible. My work said they will be open for business at noon. Some areas have level 2 and level 3 snow emergency. I am so ticked off that they are making us choose. We have a sister site in TX, that gets paid "off" time everytime the wind blows. Parts of I-75 are barely passable due to trucks jack kniving. I have a small 4 wheel drive but, it is treachous out there.
