Not looking to the prospect of about 1/4 inch accumulation of ice. My butt is staying home tomorrow.

Sounds miserabke, Stay warm and stay safe. Guess the positive is you'll have lots of time to muse over your mocks.

Aaverage daily temp this month is below zero. Right now it is -13 going to be -24 with a windchill around -45 to -50. Try snowblowing in this weather like I have done, no matter how much clothing you have on, frost bite will bite you in the ass. Coming inside with purple toes and fingers is something I wouldn't wish on anyone in here. Ask 50 about our weather.
Again, you are a wuss :).

Call me what you want, but when you live where you don't see this type of weather, don't think I want to be on the roads with a bunch of people who aren't used to it either.

Don't let them get to you CC, even the damndest of Yankees are scared sh!tless of an ice storm. We've had a couple down here in SE OK, one REALLY bad one back in 2000, the whole area (trees, etc.) looked like pictures I've seen of your neck of the woods after Katrina went through there sans residual white stuff. 1/4 inch isn't all that bad though, as long as it stays to that amount or less it shouldn't be too bad (we had 3/4" to close to 1 full inch of ice back then and 5 or 6 inches of the snow/sleet/ice all over the ground as well). The biggest danger, as you have pointed out, is the danger of crazy SOBs who panic and drive like they're trying to escape inner city Detroit on the slick roads. Take your own advice and stay home tomorrow. You'll be fine.

AA isn't a Yankee, he's a great lake stater, which means they think they invented winter weather.
I wouldn't want an ice storm. I hate that kind of weather way more than snow. New Hampshire winter weather is way easier to handle than New Jersey. Snow is light and fluffy so it plows easy. Don't have that nasty slush mix.

One of the Mobile TV stations is projecting 0.4 of an inch of ice in Mobile. Um, that's high enough. Bit too high for my liking.

I'm just to the west of AA about an hour and a half and while we didn't invent winter, we sure have perfected it.
My daughters are living in NYC right now and they laughed at how the place went batsh*t last week with the cold/snow/cold pattern.
My worry for you folks in the South is that your homes, roads, and local governments just aren't built for this sh*t. Somebody could probably make a killing with a semi full of road salt and ice melt. We get an ice storm or two every year and once a decade, we'll get something like you're going to get. So take care of yourself down there.

just ribbing you CC. I don't like being in it, or driving in it myself. I get white knuckles driving on that ****.
Another -35 to -45 night tonight and we were ordered to keep our heaters to be set at 60 degrees, OUCH!!!

I know you were.After hearing some of the reports tonight, I'm glad I'm smart enough to know to stay home

I may like the cold, but NO THANKS!

Saw the news stories this morning and they made me feel bad about the little ribbing I gave you Alabamans yesterday. What a mess! Abandoned vehicles all over the main roads and a woman giving birth because she couldn't get to the hospital.just ribbing you CC. I don't like being in it, or driving in it myself. I get white knuckles driving on that ****.

Stay safe down there Crimson.
I'm almost in your boat: -6 F with a -30 wind-factor when I walked home from work, and that was only around 6:30pm.

That's right: I walk places.

I don't think Birmingham and Atlanta were forecasted to get the snow they did and it caught the people off-guard. I was hoping we'd get that type of snow down here, but seeing what happened up there, can't help but to think how bad it might be here. As it is, the roads are still frozen here and we may barely get to or above the freezing mark. We'll drop below 20 tonight, so the ice will stay around a bit longer. Can't say I've ever seen this before in the Mobile area.
