The problem is when the ice builds up on the pine trees. They snap, often taking down the power lines.

I hope so. Lived through the ice storm on LI in 1978 and I hope to never repeat that experience. Miserable, although repair capabilities have probably (hopefully) come a long way since then.

We lose power here all.the.time. I'm actually shocked that when Green Hope lost power last week, we didn't - some in my neighborhood did, but not us. The upside is they usually want to get the school back on as quick as they can.

Also the nights following are supposed to be in the 20's.

How many loaves of bread should I buy??? Milk??? Gas????
Got all three today but because I needed them. Had to get a half gallon of milk as quarts were sold out. If you need milk I'll leave it on the corner of High House and 55 for you LOL.

Remember the 2002 Ice Storm? Raleigh got 1 inch of freezing rain. The worst ice storm in over 50 years. No power it seemed like forever with sub freezing temperatures night and day. Lots of people fled to areas that had electricity, but we stuck it out at home.

So you’re the reason Wegmans had no fresh produce left?

Stocking up on White Stuff?

Don't forget the TP. One should have a buggy or two full of Charmin!
