magpiemaniac Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I took my Stihl chainsaw in to get serviced today. That’s guaranteed to hold off an ice storm for at least another year. Sort of like installing a whole-house generator. Once you drop the big money on one, you never need to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 6" of high ratio bliss here in Cincy overnight. We were literally trained by a 75 mile wide streak of snow for 7-8 hours. Simply amazing. Wish I could bring it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Ice looks epic on the models, but in reality is kinda disappointing, even when it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I kinda hope one of these storms turns into a 2” sleet storm and below freezing. That much sleet is pretty cool, and surprisingly not that difficult to drive in. Plus it sticks around forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I was living in Alexandria Virginia for several years and we’d been forecast to get a crippling ice storm but got like 4-6” of mostly sleet. “Drifts” where it bounced off roofs stayed for more than a month even as we went into March and for a week afterwards it felt like a glacier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 My neighbor is having a Generac installed this week. Unfortunately, it’ll be days if not weeks before the mechanical and electrical inspections are done and it’s ready to fire up. It would suck to have an offline generator sitting outside while freezing under a half an inch of ice and no power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That much sleet is pretty cool, and surprisingly not that difficult to drive in. Plus it sticks around forever I got lucky in ‘14 and got more sleet than ice when I was living in Columbia. Sledding was off the charts for almost a week. It was worth the scrapes I got as I hit sound barrier speed going down our favorite hill. From Augusta to the SC coast wasn’t as lucky. One of the worst ice storms I’ve seen in the 30 something years here in SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst ice storms I’ve seen in the 30 something years here in SC. .3" of ice, unfortunately, my mom's full blooded Chow Chow was outside the day before it hit (temps were in the 50s so we thought we were in the clear, but changed over faster than had been forecasted) and went into labor in the middle of the night...Lost 8 out of 13 puppies, and the ground was frozen like a brick from SL/ZR (and got a dusting of snow on top) while having to dig those graves...
