Are you southerners prepared?

[Bernie]

Just channel hopping and on the weather network there is a freezing rain warning for a lot of southern Ontario.
Looks like there is a good chance of a fair amount of freezing rain that could bring down power lines.
Hope you all fare out well through it.
Best be prepared.

Generator is full

Fridge is stocked

My guess is that it stays rain with little to no freezing

I hope you're right. I'm heading for London this weekend and not liking the current forecast.

[lookinforwalleye]

[bigugli]

Still nothing but rain down in Niagara

[Handlebarz]

In the SW corner it looks ok for us lots of rain but the temps are staying up. I hope everyone has a safe holiday weekend and stays safe.

[DRIFTER_016]

No freezing rain here.

Just freezing temps!!!

A balmy -36 right now with -45 wind chill.

 

I'll take this over an ice storm thank you very much.

[wormdunker]

Thanx for the heads up Bernie. I've been watching the weather forecasts for 2 days. Here in Niagara - lottsa rain, mild temps but no freezing rain yet. Fridge is full, lottsa bottled water, 2 propane heaters, BBQ, candles & firewood are ready!! Coleman stove & lantern are close by as well.

[Acountdeleted]

Hope the weather clears up. I have to land in that big airport in about 9 hours.

[lew]

Snowed here all day yesterday and now the freezing rain is coming down on top of it. Looks like I'm in the center of the freezing rain warning for the next 2 days so it could get interesting.

 

Oh well, they topped up my 1500 litre propane tank yesterday so if the power goes out for an extended period, my generator should be good for a long time.

 

Hope everyone stays safe.

Christopher, don't till me you're a coaster?

[highdrifter]

My dad's been "preppin" for years now..

 

If the power goes out and all hell breaks loose, I think I'll go crash at his pad..

 

safe travels everyone.

Living on a corner house is hard on your salt dollars.

Went thru 2 10kg bags this morning.

I know your pain, I have tenants and a 70 foot driveway that gets icy in a hurry

[kickingfrog]

Made it to the airport by 10:30 yesterday. Flight out was on time and we were at our NYC hotel by 3pm. It's 12 degrees C. Now if I could get someone to shovel the drive before we get home...

[Beans]

Walking can get tricky along with driving...

 

My grandaughter slipped on some ice at work (day-care) yesterday morning and did a real number on her leg (3 breaks) and ankle (dislocated)

 

 

 

They should be operating on her this morning...

 

I pray she doesn't end up with a permanent limp...

 

 

[lew]

That's real tough luck for your Grandaughter Norm, sure hope everything works out OK for her.
