It is just a matter of time right now. The thing that is making me nervous is the fact it keeps switching from ice pellets to rain/freezing rain.  :eek:

You put a few inches of snow on top of all that and nobody is going anywhere unless they are walking!

I think sliding would be a more appropriate word there.  I have a feeling walking is hard at best.

Actually, given the fact that this stuff fell with the consistency of sugar at first, and then froze up on the ground, it left the surface of the ice with a fairly rough granular finish. If you wear a pair of aggressively cleated boots it isn't bad at all to walk on.  .  .

But let it turn to freezing ran for an hour or two and it'll be slicker than owl poop outside.  :yes:

  Ever since I fell two years ago after an ice storm and broke rubs and screwed up my back.  I got myself a set of slip-on chains for my shoes.  They sure do work.  Let me tell you guys.  DON'T FALL.  It can happen so fast and change your whole life.  Believe me.  :trustme:

I've actually seen those things and used to own a pair of ice gaiters that had spikes on the bottom and they slipped onto your shoes/boots the same way. . . I wish I had a pair of those this year. . .  :yes:

I took a lot of hard spills on the ice as a young man playing ice hockey. There's no way I'd survive that at this age!  :spooked:

Too late.

Went ass over teacups down the steps on the back deck on Monday morning.

Arm and back sure smart now; brain wasn't.

  So do I, but I made it through this one OK.  But from 8 PM to 8:30 PM the light went of for a bout 10 seconds twice and I though the big one was here.

  I think about that last big one when those people in Anderson who lived back in the woods were with out power for days.  Wow I made it.  :bliss:  :bliss:           :bliss:                     :bliss:

  The wife went up to the post office and run into my neighbor and said, Tell Troll I sure appreciate him blowing off of my drive way.  But it sure doesn't look like he going to touch this stuff.   Yes, she said, the Troll is in his hole for the duration.

  It's 6:50 AM and just went to get the paper.  It looks like its only 6 to 8  pages.  Hell, my newspaper man could have stayed home.  But, the paper was right next to the door.  I knew that $50 Christmas present would pay off some day.

  But the only way I could remove this stuff is with one of those old ice saws they used to cut ice blocks with.  :biggrin:

  Got to be careful.  I had a friend who fell on some outside steps and completely broke his knee.  They put him in a full lenghth cast from toes to crouch.  He came home and the, pardon these words.  The bitch wouldn't take care of him and his daughter came over from Ohio and put him a nursing home for 90 days.  Oh, the bitch?  Divorce.
