The wind is howling, I keep hearing this rumbling noise that isn't thunder off in the distance. . . Our lights are flickering and the rain is coming down sideways from the south. . .  :eek:

If you are in Madison County and are not home get to shelter NOW!

We had at least one, and maybe two, pass to the West of us.

Eye of the storm

This is NOT my picture, but it comes from one of the local radio personalities and was posted on Twitter and Facebook, as well as broadcast within local media.

This is the top of a house sitting in the middle of a road in Kokomo IN

My wife and I had a couple of errands to run, so once it was clear the worst was over for us here, we went out to do them and have a little look around to see if there was any damage.

A lot of limbs and sticks down, as usual, but outside of that we saw nothing in the small area we covered while out. Just a few items blown around like yard toys and decorations. . .

At least one local television station believes that among the hardest hit counties in central Indiana, during the current snow storm, will be Madison County Indiana.  :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

They are setting up a satellite truck here in town to monitor the situation and provide a live feed surrounding conditions here.  :big grin:

Please exercise good judgement in going outdoors. Stay off the roads unless you are encountering an extreme emergency; and even then, notify emergency services in order to obtain assistance rather than getting in your vehicle and driving to the hospital, etc.

Just came in from my first round of snow removal from the driveway due to this storm. We've got a good 10 inches already on the ground, and it is snowing still!  :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

In the meantime, I'm standing outside in shorts and a short sleeve shirt.  Current temperature is 73.   :razz:

Madison Co is now under a snow emergency..............

I have a broken tree limb laying on my power line going to my house........as of now, I have power.  If it gets heavier or I fear when the wind kicks up.....I am going to be in trouble. 

On the bright side, I have all my kids here, and we are on the cusps of frying some chicken and watching a movie........as long as the limb and mother nature cooperate.

We'll see how things go. I watched channel 8's weather break and they listed the official total for Anderson as 3 inches. That is utter nonsense!

I've got a lot more than that on top of my truck!

I just finished snow removal ops on the driveway for the third time today. And now the plow is finally in the neighborhood.

The way the winds are whipping right now, I suspect it is just as well. By the time I get up at 0 dark thirty, there will be a 4 foot drift across my driveway making that plow wake look like nothing. . .  :big grin:

Since Madison and Delaware counties are currently red, if that holds true at 0 dark thirty, I am not going anywhere tomorrow anyway.  :biggrin:

The wind is supposed to pick up later and it's still snowing so I'm saying not much is going to be moving at all tomorrow.

Hell, it's whipping around here and has been for hours now.  :yes:

Officially, 12+ inches of snow in Anderson today at this point.  :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

And the cities have begin ticketing those who are out traveling today, for violation of IDHS red-level travel advisories. Just as i predicted they would.

I wonder if HH and Exterminator went in today.

Indiana is closed.

It's a whopping 51 degrees here in sunny, but cold, south Florida.

I did not go in yesterday or today...working from home.

Smart move.

Me neither. I've been at home since Friday, except for some panic shopping on Saturday.

This is 67th sheet (of ice) heading east from Scatterfield about a half an hour ago:

Well, I finally went in to work today..........it only took me 3 1/2 hours... :rant: .

I shoveled out yesterday, and THEN had to go to my Uncles funeral.

All in all....I was fortunate, I had a job that allowed me to stay at home, and ALL of my kids were there.  We never lost power.....We ate good, played some games and watched some movies. 

Back to the grindstone....  :yes:

You guys can have that shit.  :yes:

The temperature right now is showing 16 in Indy and that's 20 degrees warmer than it was Monday night.   

65 in some light rain here. 

The older I get, the more attractive the south looks to me.  I always LOVED snow and winter.....but, not so much anymore.

My wife is already READY to move to Orlando....to be closer to Micky.

My ride in today was akin to taking the back roads of Morrocco ! Ice and snow covered the interstate the whole way. A thirty minute drive was 1.5 hours of bumps and ruts and sliding; even in four wheel drive.

Mickey will take all your money.  That's some expensive magic.  :yes:

My wife got stuck 6 times on the way home from work. It took me an hour and a half to get home, and by the time I did get home she beat me by only 10 minutes.  :big grin:

She works the next exit down from our home. I work 20 miles away.

If you live in central Indiana and are planning to leave the confines of Anderson, there are some things you should know in advance:

1. The roads in Anderson may seem bad to you, but if you leave the city you will discover just how good they actually are.

2. If your destination is a typical 30 minute drive, plan on it taking 1.5 to 2 hours. (No bullshit). If it is an hour drive, plan on 3-4 hours.
If it is any further than an hour drive away under typical conditions, do NOT go under any circumstances. You will be gone for a day and a half at least, and you had better have survival supplies on board, or they'll not find you until Saturday at the earliest. Under the flood waters.

3. If your vehicle is not equipped with 4 wheel drive, stay in Anderson. Leave there and you will be in a ditch or snow-bank and begging for someone to come get you. (Which they won't).

In my lifetime I have seen two Mayors of the City of Chicago lose their frigging jobs over very similar snow remediation performance to that of the cities, towns, and state after this latest storm. Seriously. After that there has not been a Mayor in that city that doesn't make damn sure that snow removal is THE top priority in that city.

On my drive home this evening I was in 4 wheel drive the whole way. 25 degrees outside and I did not see a SINGLE state, township, or city truck out spreading salt onto the 4-6 inches of solid ice that covers the roadways. Not a one. What, are they waiting for the temperatures to drop to the teens before doing so? WTF?!

(I guess I should have placed this into the random acts of venting three, but. . . )

Don't get me wrong; I absolutely LOVE snow, and this foot of the stuff, and sub-zero temperatures,  is a welcomed relief to the drabness of the typical central Indiana winter season. But .  .  . I REALLY wish the asshats running snow remediation operations in this state would learn how to properly do the job!  :rant:

Well, it took me 3.5 hours to make it TO work yesterday morning. My ride home was 2 hours 15 minutes.  This morning it was 1 hour 45 minutes.  So, all in all, I THINK it is getting better.
Downtown Indy STILL has lots of rough roads.  The Interstate is MUCH better.  The next problem is going to be the flooding.

The same 1.5 hour trip each way to work today. Temps in the 30's and STILL NO SALT TRUCKS!

A portion of the bypass (67) was virtually snow free, however Delaware county  is absolutely horrendous, and any road you take being maintained by county or city/township crews are nearly impassable without 4 wheel / all wheel drive. Even at that they are like driving a logging road.

Anderson's main arteries are good by comparison, but getting into the neighborhoods also takes a 4 wheel drive vehicle. And if you have to go to Meadowbrook you had better have 4 wheel drive or some help to push you out of the drifts and snow banks. I had to rescue my wife yesterday from that neighborhood, and after hauling her out with a strap with my truck, I had to stop and push her out 5 additional times before we were able to get out of there. Needless to say, visits to the punkinhead's house are out unless we are taking the truck.  :mad:

:biggrin:

BTW, when you guys get shit weather up that way, it sends much cooler temperatures down here.  There is low humidity today, the sun is out, there isn't a cloud in the sky, and the temperature is 70 degrees. 

Between yesterday and today, I shoveled a foot and a half of heavy, wet snow.  :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Be careful with that crap.  We don't need any heart attacks around here.  :no:

Locutus is right Bo D be careful shoveling. 

Thank you both for your concern. Really, I mean that.

But I am relatively fit for an old guy.  :biggrin: And I learned years ago to pay attention to what my body is telling me. I actually take more time leaning on the shovel enjoying the sights and listening to the birds than I do shoveling.

Attempts at countermeasures will result in ice. You know this so just don't. . .

And here is the result of your jigging around. As I've said many times before, do NOT try to influence my snow dance. My kung fu is strong and all it will do is bring ice in place of the snow!

Just like you had to work on yours we will work on ours and get it up to par and working fine.   :yes: :yes:

I am very much aware that I am dealing with much stronger powers, but I must utilize all my strength and wisdom to over come the dark shadows of winter.........THIS, THIS IS who I am....come hell or high water, IF I deny it, I deny EVERYTHING I have ever done, Everything I have ever fought for...
Mostly because whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility"  THIS is my gift, my curse.  WHO AM I?
