woke up to this...






getting more tonight...

 

Its the Icicle Edition

 

i had my truck out in the backyard a few winters ago, we got an icestorm and it was iced into place. had to bust through a glacier to get in, but it still wouldnt move until the ice melted... 2wd

 

ha at the ice, you guys getting snow yet? we got a good 6-8 inches yesterday.

 

i got up early today to take my woman to work cuz it was bad and there was 1/4" of ice on there, the truck sat all day and i needed to go get gas in it at 4:00 and there was probably another 1/8" on there and im told this is just the beginning

 

hah nice, those are cool pics

 

We got NAILED here. Trees down all over the place. Power, cable, internet outages. **** sucks man. I've got my furnace cranked up to 80 to warm the place up in case we lose power for an extended amount of time. 5 blankets on the bed and a candle in every room.

It's still sleeting like crazy out right now. My tin roof sounds like 5000 kids shooting pellet guns at my place.

 

Lol. Turn your furnace down, you're just wasting gas.

Sounds like the damn apocalypse. We're getting your storm tonight.
Stupid news is making it sound like a war is about to erupt. This happens every winter, it's called....winter!


By the way..the ice edition truck looks sick!
Did you shave the ford emblem or did the steppies not get one on the tailgate

 

we havnt got snow yet, another half inch of ice with 30mph winds, thunderstorms and then maybe an inch of snow... ice edition ranger haha my ranger is a 2002 with the new front end conversion and custom powerdome hood off an 03, I havnt found a ford emblem for the tailgate just yet

 

NVM he got it ^^


Anyway cool pics. If I didn't have a garage I'm sure I would have similar ones.

 

getting ice here too, couldnt get into my truck this morning, doors were welded shut with the ice, fortunatly i could get into the blazer and i used the ice scraper from it to help pry the door open. i do have a semi tractor mudflap on the windshield, so all i had to do there was get a corner pryed up and i could remove the whole thing leaving a good sized square to see through. wish i had heated mirrors, kinda sucks having to stay in one lane caus you cant see to change lanes. i dont get how it can be so cold yet we get rain. really wish i had a garage. of course the garage door would then be sealed in ice too.

 

I would have scraped the ice off, thats dangerous man, plus the cops can pull you over for that stuff.

 

i could see through the side windows, just couldnt see through the side mirrors, cap is all incased in ice too. i have a short drive to/from work. just stay in the lane i need and im fine, even if im stuck behind 10 mph slow cars. oddly enough, i didnt see one cop today.

 

haven't had that happen before but it happened a few years ago to my mom. i just grabbed a pry bar, a snow shovel, a square point shovel, and bag of salt and went to work. like a solid inch of ice on the door lol.

 

Anyone know if montana is going to be affected by this storm? Im flying up there on the 9th.

 

Febuary 2nd Where will you be?

 

the radio will come on in the middle of the song "i got you babe" i'll meet the same people in the hall, step into the same water-filled pothole ...............

 

My place gets cold in a power outage in around 2-3 hours. I mean the same as outdoor temps. It's old and drafty. My aunt was without power for around 32 hours shortly after the storm hit, so I don't mind "wasting gas" just to make sure I'm prepared. I've got trees coming down in my backyard that the trunks are basketball sized. We've got enough ice on everything to lose power any minute. It's been flickering on and off for hours now.


Also, this type of stuff doesn't happen all the time. This isn't just winter. This ice is causing major problems all over the county. I haven't seen ice like this since the late 80's - early 90's..



GB :)
