Cataclysmic Oklahoma Ice Storm of '10 - Page 2

Raiders Army · 01-30-2010, 08:26 AM

We've been without electricity since 4 PM on Thursday. We called yesterday morning and our electric company, the Cotton Electric co-op, told us that all their substations were out and it would be days until we got electricity back.

Our house is 100% electric. We came down to Wichita Falls yesterday and will go back tomorrow.

Here's my front yard. Supposedly about 7-8 inches ontop of ice. Looks like one brave soul tried to get down the road at some point.

I like to make fun of southern folk for not being able to handle snow, but I think I will give you guys a pass on this one.

Ended up with about 4" on the back porch when I checked at breakfast this morning, but could have been a little more since it's somewhat sheltered by the house and the trees in the yard. However, it's been mostly sleet since dawn this morning when I first heard the sleet pelting our windows and driving me out of sleep. It's not expected to totaly finish until later tonight now and so I think we'll end up between 5 and 6" between all the snow and sleet. We'll be going through a couple of days of thaw-freeze cycles, as well, as temps will creep to freezing tomorrow and then plunge to the low teens tomorrow night. I may be one of the few to get to work on Monday since I've got 4x4 and I'm used to driving in this from my days in Michigan.

We're at 11" and counting here in Richmond, today.
