Bernie Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 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.

lew Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 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.

Beans Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
