I think we are fixen to get wiped out. Make sure you can live without power for a few days if need be.water food . If you have a generator DONT have it in the house. The last two times in st. Louis families
have not woke up in the morning. But beaglers are smarter than that.

[Joeyman]

Yeah I've been watching the weather all morning looks like it's coming this way. There goes this weekends hunting plans.

[mo. beagler]

I ran for an hour or 2 this am it was 56f. Now its raining and 40....

[Ark]

Good luck up there.

I live in central Arkansas and the last I heard theyre calling for most of it to stay north and west of us.

My house is all electric so its a real pain in the rear to be without electricity for any length of time.

[Joeyman]

It was about 57 out this morning up here in St. Louis. Now it's raining suppose to get down in the low 30s and by sunday the upper 20s and raining the whole time....that ='s ice

You folks take care, we'd send some help but they cut back on the workforce and linesmen, called "risk management", well, they may just get to see the risk they've taken... ...the grid has been let go to long. There's a co-op running the plants now and it cycles us up and down like a yo-yo wearing out the equipment. Computers are great with numbers for efficiency but they don't see the "real world" and what their doing to the equipment. The "shirts and ties" that got to the top during the "good times" don't have the "real world" experience to see past the profit margin. The executives with their bonus and stock option plans are bleeding us out, when things turn, it's hard to cut back on the "milk & honey", you get use to a lot of sweets. Our top dawg made 7.2 mil...
Good luck to all, winters acomin...

Talking about a tempature change, I live in the KC area it was almost 60 here yesterday. Woke up this morning to a 1 degree wind chill. At least we're not getting any of that ice though.

[mo. beagler]

I just lost power for an hour. It was a good test run. I forgot to fill 5 gal. buckets of water today. there done now .didnt feel like messing with the generator. all my food is on the front porch..F.34 free refrigeration.

[Joe P.]

Freezing rain and sleet here in East central Ok. It is not supposed to end until later sunday. Have not lost power yet but it had been off during the night, all my clocks were flashing when I got up,LOL.

[Ark]

Its just rain here but theyre saying to expect more of it.

Alot more.

Anywhere from 3 to 5 inches.

[mo. beagler]

Maries county has 4,000 meters out.they say an artic blast is on its way. how you doing up there joeyman? I dont know how them boys in mich. u.p. deal with it. I think my dogs would get fat.

[S.R.Patch]

If I kept my food out on the front porch my hounds would get fat too...

LP gas generator, gas stove, gas refrigerator, oil lamps, gas space heater, wood stove. Snug as a bug in a rug...

Ice is no good, but this snow is what they've been waiting on. My buddies have been in a deep depression not being able to hunt snow. One has relaced his snow shoes 3 times, another has been waxing his snow blower, now that's some deep depression...

The pickup truck's with the snow blades on w/ no snow have really looked silly for the last month... For sale signs are coming off the snowmobiles...

Gotta a call from my father-in-law this morning who lives in Pittsburg, Kansas just across the Missouri border. He said they had a mix of everything ice, sleet and snow and lots of the ice. They had power at the time but don't know about now. Ya'll take care down that way.
