Do NOT like ice storms. We've finally hit a balmy 32*. Although it's suppose to be 61 on Tuesday and a high of 18 on Friday. Gotta love OH weather.

I was on my way to my snowmobile clubs annual radar run at 6 this am but we had to cancel due to the ice storm.
I unhooked my truck from trailer and pulled it into the shop and I went back to bed!

Normally there all tucked in bed out of the weather.

And I thought we had it bad this weekend...60's and raining

Of course in the desert getting rain is like ice storms there...These #$%& people don't know how to drive. Locals continue to drive like a bat of hell and the snowbirds drive 10 MPH under the speed limit...it's like being in bumper cars.

LMAO - Not really...it's been raining but not like what you get in the mid west...more like a heavy drizzle for 3 days. Just enough to be annoying.

Bad news is if this keeps up and we have a wet Winter/Spring and a dry Summer there will be fire restrictions everywhere. No Smoores around the campfire
