| Big ice storm here this weekend. Kind of in the middle of southern Ontario. Trees down all over. 400,000 without power. No power at my place and I am not home. Luckily have a guy there that got generator going to run sump pump! |

Looks like that ice storm is pretty widespread. Warm and dry around here, north GA, SC, and NC are dealing with widfires. There is a lot of debris from Helene on the ground and is now dry enough to fuel these fires. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| This happened in Eastern NE recently on a smaller scale. Started as freezing rain, thick coating on wires & poles followed by 80-90 MPH straight winds and 6 inches of snow. Literally took down miles of power lines. Lineman working 16 hr. shifts. Makes for a real mess. Needed to have more poles brought in. Hopefully, by now all power is restored. |

Ice thickness from 0.5 to 1.0 inches reported in some Eastern Ontario areas. My home town apparently declared a State of Emergency. My neighbour reports thick layer of ice but no trees down. |

| Just keep it up there, that storm that went through here last night only dropped .7" of rain, but the one coming through Wednesday is said could drop 2" to 4" of rain here in Ohio |

Is that all?  . Northern Lower Michigan Got upwards of 1.75 inches of ice over the weekend, over 300,000 without power. It missed me by about 10 miles is all. Look for reports from around the Gaylord or Cheboygan area if you want to see some devastation. Upon reading my post here, it might sound like I made light of the situation and that was not at all my intention. |

| Sounds to me like somebody is trying to debunk Al Gore and Greta Thurnburg's gospel, which clearly states the only ice seen here on Earth ended in the past century. I say on some other planet maybe but not here. |

| While Gaylord Mich. was iced over on Sunday 4 Tornadoes hit Southern Mich. A family in a Minivan traveling near Kalamazoo had 3 children killed ages 4 to 11 when a tree fell on their van. Other family members were injured with one critically. Spring time has been rough over Michigan! |

| Those strong winds sound scary. Up here crews are still working to restore power in many areas and expecting more freezing rain today. |

Prayers go out to all affected by ice storms. Growing up on the dairy farm west of Springfield we had a horrific ice storm in 78 or 79. I learned what it was like to milk 30 cows twice a day by hand . I would not wish that on my worst enemy. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

| Dad had a petcock on the exhaust manifold of the Wc that he used to run the milkers when we lost power. |

yea, we hooked up to the vacuum on the International L-120 to avoid the hand milking, coourse that was my older brothers. Electric was not off very often. ------------- Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die |

| My Dad had a pet cock on the D 17 that would allow 1 Surge bucket milker to milk the cows. Slow on 45 Cows. But better than by hand.During Ice Storms we could milk and cold enough to cool the milk in cans. Summertime was a different story. |

I’m smack dab in the middle of the ice storm. Been without power for going on a week. Basement flooded due to no sump pump. Furnace and water heater probably shot. Heating the house with buddy heaters as we speak. Getting tired of showering from a bucket and the laundry like is now a laundry mountain ------------- Experience is a fancy name for past mistakes.

Any ETA when you will get power back? I can’t imagine what a mess it looks like in person, seen pictures and videos. The old Holiday Inn in Tawas is parked full end to end 2 deep with tree and utility trucks. Saw two trucks at the gas station from Appalachia something or other yesterday. Dang. Good luck getting on. |

they came through and turned everyone on that’s in my street, but my mast on my house was damaged. I had that repaired by an electrician but I can’t get the co-op back to turn me back on. I would literally taken them 10 minutes to turn me on. I know they have a lot on their plate right now but I am very frustrated at this point. My pole building across the street was undamaged and has power so right now I have an extension cord stretched across the street to power my router and sump pump The tree damage is extensive ------------- Experience is a fancy name for past mistakes.
