    1st WINTER STORM

    Nasty weather starting in KY soon. Supposed to start snowing in the morning then turn to ice. Ending as snow. In the Louisville area, could have up to 1/2 inch or more of ice and 5-10 inches of snow before it gets out of here Monday. We are as prepared as we can be. Everyone stay safe and hope you don’t lose power.

      Everyone stay safe and warm. I also don't like winter weather. We've lived here 16 years and I worry that these old furnaces will go out at the worst time or the electric will go off.

        Just starting to snow here in Jeffersontown. A dusting on the deck. If we lose power, we have a fireplace that will heat our living area. Have a gas stove to cook on. Keeping devices charged. Now, if I can tolerate my hubby telling me to clean out drawers and closets since we will confined to the house 🙁

            Per the Weather Channel, the snow appears to be about done here. We probably got between 1.5 and 2 inches. Now we're looking at three or four days and nights of brutal cold.

              Ended up with about 7-inches of snow here topped by about 1/4-1/2 inch of ice. We have a 5 trunked birch in the front yard and 3 trunked birch in the back. Nearly 30 years old. Lost another trunk in the front and numerous limbs all over the yard, roof and patio.
              But the power is still on - better than the last ice storm we had and power was out for about a week - up to two weeks for many.

              Hope everyone came out of it with little or no damage.
              Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.

                  We got over 10 inches with ice in between. We live in a retirement community and they feed us so as long as the power stays on we're good.

                      Local tree service wanted $800 to cut one broken limb and two suspended widow makers out of my Oak tree. Forget that! I'll climb up there myself when the ice melts.

                        The high, here, today is supposed to be 25 with a low of 15 tonight. The Weather Channel is predicting 3-5 inches for us Fri. Welcome to winter time in Ky. I guess.

                            I think I'd rather have snow and temps in the low 30's than this brutal cold. I can't stand cold weather.
