We had about an inch of sleet this morning and then a little freezing rain here at the house, less than that at the farm. Still have power at both, thank you,LORD! May get more freezing rain this afternoon. Prepare for the worst, pray for the best. I am in the process of changing propane providers at the house so my main source of backup heat won’t last long but the new tank should be installed by midweek.

Made it up to 13 degrees, not much wind, got the skid steer out of the 50 degree shop and pushed the 7 to 8 inches off the driveway. The shop heat isn't running near as much today as it did yesterday with single digit temp and 15mph North wind.

Don't think we will get the 20 inches the models said but i am not complaining. Barn cleaner worked , manure spreader worked silage unloader worked some frozen water bowls but thawed easily. Vacuum pump started ok ( had oil pan heater on that). Pulsators have been living in bath tub for last two weeks . Kids don't know wbat fun they are missing

Guys, Winter here in North West PA. May get some more snow but not as predicted. We got maybe 6 inches of snow today about 10 deg F. Not much wind. These folks predicting the weather need to be transported back to winter of 77-78. That was a dandy. Never got above freezing for a month. Snow and blowing snow almost every day. Our road was finally plowed with a Cat dozer. I went out and ask if he could plow our drive. He said not really but swung in and pushed snow up past the old farm house. I think that pile of snow just melted last year!:) Dad was milking 40 head of Holsteins. The water pump froze in the barn, water pump froze in the house too. We are plowing the drive with the D14. Today a heat houser would have been real handy! Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Pretty Krazy, people here are complaining that we didn't have a ice storm. They bought extra food I guess? It's 37 and partly sunny. I ain't complaining a bit

I am not complaining one bit, I am thanking the LORD that it wasn’t as bad as predicted. We had sleet and freezing rain but no power grid damage, just scattered outages. Secondary roads are clearing now.

like Hubert said it could have been a lot worse!, we had about 3/4” of sleet, then freezing rain for about 24 hours, we moved my MIL down from her house North of us, had the diesel generator all fueled up and ready to run, very happy it wasn’t needed! Mountains just to the North all the way up to above Nashville towards Tracy Martins area got hit real hard, hope everyone that was in the path is OK!
