We might be in trouble with possible 1/2'' ice on everything! starting after midnight, just in time for morning commute

 

 

Did you buy the optional ice blade that replaces your snow blade on your quad? Time to spike those new tires!

 

How did you guys fair? Supposed to get between .25 and 1 inch of freezing rain here tonight. Time to gas up the chainsaws.

 

Down here in the deep south, just south of Toledo we had mostly rain. A very small amount of ice in the grass but didn't last long, by 8am all rain. Only knew of the ice on the grass when the dog went out you could hear a faint crunch under her paws. Nothing on the sidewalk or roads. Took wife into town for doc apt and no sign of any slippery conditions other than rain....and there was plenty of that! Poor sump pump will be worn out after this wet period as more rain for the next few days, the fields look like lakes already.

 

All clear here finally! Was pretty slippery with solid ice on everything, but melting quickly now!

 

Glad you guys fared well. Will know tomorrow. Doesn't sound quite as bad as they weather guessers made it sound in the early part of the day.

 

No power failures or anything here. I didn't feel good and didn't go outside or even get dressed Wednesday. I got an Informed Delivery email from the post office telling me there should be at least 2 pieces of mail in my box that they showed pictures of. But it should still be there Thursday afternoon and I'll go out when it's 45-47 degrees to get it and whatever else comes.

 

''Made my self'' ''get up and out'', to install belt tensioner ***'y, yesterday, knowing it had to be done, and knowing it would rain all day today, and bitter cold for week, ahead! It was misty damp with occasional sprinkles on me head, while working on it, in open driveway, but knowing it was either get r done yesterday at dank 40 f, or walk today in cold rain to run aaron's lol, since it would be unsafe to drive van, where tensioner could possibly freeze up and blow out, according to everything I've read, and Auto zones advice, agreeing could damaging other major parts, while out on the road! It was a tricky repair and had to even dig down in driveway in order to get under van, since this model custom van sets so low, just a few inches from the ground, but finished just before dark, and tested out real well, no more clatter for that matter, under me hood lol and wife'e rewarded we with a supprise'e hand made veggie'e pizza....YUMMY!!! For all my effort while working out in the elements lol There's no place like home....there's no place like home....Hey, don't call me Dorothy! lol

 

In case any of you are without road side assistance, hope this might help. I received the offer through the mail with discount.

I just signed up with AAA, not the insurance co, the AAA road side assistant service, club. The reason my Citizens home/auto is so affordable at only 129 mo. for both, is they don't offer this service, and they even recommended AAA road side. I called my tow service before signing up too, and they highly recommended and honor this ins., over others.
