Winter Storm DOOM. Who Gets Hit and Who Doesn't? NWS Update pg 13

*****


WOW !! Lots of Kentucky people here !!

I moved to the beautiful central Blue Grass Area in 2013 and I absolutely LOVE it.

The news has been in "panic mode" so I've been watching the weather very closely. I wasn't here for the last ice storm.... but Ohio was hit REALLY hard, then.

I'm definitely seeing ice covering everything right now. Haven't gone outside today/tonight, but the railings around my apartment balcony are ice-covered with beautiful little icicles dripping down from them.

It's so good to know that we have a large community of like-minded GLPers here in Kentucky !! Wish we had a place to meetup if the SHTF. I'm a retired widow (all alone) and I'm not sure what I would do if things really get "dicey" - I've got all kinds of survival stuff, and a cool van to hit the road in if necessary. - My kids think I'm totally nuts. LOL

Who out there in glp land is getting hammered by this lastest winter storm doom?

I'm in KY, right on the impact zone of what the forecasters and media are calling an emergency situation. We are expected up to 1" of ice thru tomorrow afternoon.
Ppl around here have been in a state of near panic for the last 2 days in preparation for this "event" that was scheduled to kick in significantly last night. Well.....this morning we have nothing outside but a bit of sprinkles thru the early morning hours with temps above freezing (so far). The radar is showing a clearing but yet travel restrictions are planned for this afternoon and the alerts are still going out. We have been told that power outage are expected, and will last for several days. On top of that, the temps are supposed to drop down to near 0 by Sunday. It's scaring the old people and causing panic buying everywhere!

So, my question is....
Who is getting hit by this "monster" winter storm because it's not us (so far)?

In DFW 12/31/78 we had a serious ice storm. It was likely the worst in history here. I was carrying the Morning News at the time and it was incredible. So many power outages. You couldn't drive anywhere either. We had another bad one in 2013.

praying for y'all...

Ice storms are not fun.

Up north when we are expecting ice, we pull our windshield wipers sticking up off the windshield of our vehicles.

Be safe.
