Currently I have missed 2 days of school due to a huge...Well I don't know if it has a name but it when the temperature is really cold (20 F), and it rains for awhile, freezes, rains more, more ice forms and before you know it the whole town literally has a coating of ice/glass... The streets look horrible with trees fallen. I was lucky when the huge tree between me and my neighbor fell... It hit their car... At first I was laughing but know I know that was a terrible thing to happen... Anyway, many power failures and stuff... No school... This is the first time I've experienced something like this.. I know some of you may think it's just ice.. But I'm tellin' ya'. The grass is literally coated with ice.. When you step on it, it shatters! I'm just ranting now.. I'd rather take 5 inches of snow then 2 inches of hard as glass ice... You can check the weather for the town Norman, Oklahoma in US. Hope the sun comes out soon
Power failures and falling trees... man, don't hurt yourself. Buy a pair of ice skates and go skating in the middle of the road.
Wow thats some pretty interesting weather, i mean for it to actually rain then freeze to ice thats pretty crazy. Being from Pennsylvania i never have had anything like it, i've had the snow melt, then freeze but like like what your dealing with thats pretty crazy. I'm sure Born2killx still has snow from last week's storm.
What storm? Poo, in NYC we only got a half inch of snow which melted by the next day... I want terrible weather! ;D
Thats what I said... It even looked cool at first but then then the trees started falling. Today I had to get up at 5 AM to help my mom defrost the car. The handles where sealed tight with ice. Trust me you don't want weather this bad. Sure, theres no school... but some people haven't had electricity for 3 days now...
Snow is fine when it's a few inches because you might miss a day of school.. But if it's over a feet thats not good...
I can totally see that : "10 feet of snow is expected tomorrow so were gonna go ahead and send children to school so we can bury them in the snow"
I live in the UK and we never get snow anymore. We used to when I was a child, but now its just sludge that can't even be called snow. And not much of that either.
Seattle area there was snow for one day but melted the next day also. Last year we had major Ice just as you have now, it was crazy. Everyone was sliding around driving of the road and stuff like that. I have four wheel drive which is fun to mess around on. Last year I would go spin all four tires in secluded areas, fun stuff lol.
Today the rain melted some ice and luckily the temperature was above freezing so the new rain didn't freeze. Still lots of people without electricity and lots of trees on roads everywhere.
