Winter Storm DOOM. Who Gets Hit and Who Doesn't? NWS Update pg 13
Who out there in glp land is getting hammered by this lastest winter storm doom?

I'm in KY, right on the impact zone of what the forecasters and media are calling an emergency situation. We are expected up to 1" of ice thru tomorrow afternoon.
Ppl around here have been in a state of near panic for the last 2 days in preparation for this "event" that was scheduled to kick in significantly last night. Well.....this morning we have nothing outside but a bit of sprinkles thru the early morning hours with temps above freezing (so far). The radar is showing a clearing but yet travel restrictions are planned for this afternoon and the alerts are still going out. We have been told that power outage are expected, and will last for several days. On top of that, the temps are supposed to drop down to near 0 by Sunday. It's scaring the old people and causing panic buying everywhere!

So, my question is....
Who is getting hit by this "monster" winter storm because it's not us (so far)?

Ice storms are not fun.

Up north when we are expecting ice, we pull our windshield wipers sticking up off the windshield of our vehicles.

Be safe.

Coastal Carolina here. Been raining for a couple weeks. Temps warmed yesterday to 60's, but more rain coming. Construction workers and painters can't get dry days for work. In contrast to the storm area's, we are thankful for liquid rain, instead of snow and ice. Take good care and be safe!hf

We here in Stanhope County Durham North East England have about 12 inches of snow on untreated roads pavements and the dales, and there seems to be no let up.

Chicagoland area getting hit with sub zero temps and snow. We have about 17” of snow and supposed to get another 4-9” in in the next several days. Usually we have a few days of sub zero then some warming
But this stretch of cold will last almost 2 weeks straight

It really is obvious now. plain as fucking day.

i don’t think humanity as a whole has figured it out just yet.

soon 50% of your time will be taxed in the name trying to prevent the fucking sun from getting warmer.

It’s nice this time of year in Az, the trade off is summer with temperatures consistently over 110 degrees for months.

In the Nebraska panhandle we are getting a little snow and a lot of cold. The high yesterday was 14 and that will be the high for this week. The lows will be double digits below zero at least until the middle of next week. It's warmer in the Wyoming mountains than in the farms of Nebraska right now.

Husband took job in Des Moines. It's minus 5 degrees HIGH this Saturday. His Oregon-based company doesn't seem to understand about men getting on roofs to install solar - the crew can take hours to get snow off the roof. Iowans are sure as hell NOT working on rooftops in Des Moines for the winter. Southern Oregon has gentle west coast weather.

They must be desperate. Their "fear tactics" are weak, at best, and anyone can see right through them. i'm 'bout sick of their contrived "drama's".

May all that they send out from their wicked and evil ol' hearts return to THEM 10 fold, in the most unexpected of ways. As it is written in Proverbs, those who dig a hole/pit with evil intent, for others to fall into, will fall into those pits themselves.

It is also written that a curse sent without cause will NOT alight on the intended victim.

They are bringing curses on their own selves.

I live in an area where songs have been
written about our snow and winter sports.
And people loved to winter vacation here.
We had one blizzard early this winter.
But only dusting of it since.
However, the cold is intense.
I have lived here for a very long time.
And i have NEVER known such intense cold.
No one wants to go out side.
As the cold is so unreal and unnatural.

I hate that for him. I worked in oil and gas for 20+ years all over this Nation. Did the exact same thing one winter in SD outside of Sioux Falls. Our motto was, "We don't get rain outs or snowed in! We get rained and snowed on!" In other words... we work because that's where our job was-outside in the elements. Maybe I've grown soft over the last few years, because I don't agree with that motto any longer....

Remind him to be careful because you need him home at some point. That's what my wife used to say to me all the time and it caused me to use more caution in shitty conditions.....just sayin
