On another site I heard that some parts of Kansas got hit with freezing rain.
I hope that everyone here missed it.

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps
I didn't 😥
It hit on Saturday and has not really let up. However the nice thing SO FAR (knocking on wood) is that it is not the really BAD kind. This one so far is only bad on the vehicle windows and roads. Not much collecting on power lines and trees so far.
As it was hitting on Saturday, I went ahead and put one more heater in the greenhouse as it was 50 degrees at 4:00pm. By 5:00, I had it up to 60 degrees but have not checked on it today.
I hear that Oklahoma is going to get it REAL hard tonight 😥
I'm glad that you have missed the worst so far.

I see there's still a weather advisory for Kansas and Illinois folks.
Hope it's over soon.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
Yea, I think Tonight at 4:00 it starts up for me and goes thru Tuesday afternoon. 1" of ice at least.
Its raining here but at night the temps drop and it turns to freezing rain and in the morning the cars and trees look cool. They are covered with a perfect sheet of ice but it all pretty much metls away until the sun goes down. Well I guess what used to be snow is now freezing rain global warming in all its many faces.

It must be hell to commute in that.
For road maintenance crews too.
We had an inch of snow on Sunday.
Accidents everywhere.
Thoughts of South Carolina....ahhhhh! 😉

Central Kansas is having ongoing problems, winds tonight bringing down a lot more trees and power lines.
First time the power has been on here in 24+ hours, probably will not last long, but nice to have some heat 😀

I kind of feel sorry for the weather that you are having. That vicious storm we had on Dec 3rd had strong enough winds to push the jet stream south and the 'Alberta Clippers' (cold high pressure systems) are hitting you as well as well as Illinois, Michigan and Ontario. Usually they don't push as far south this early in the winter.
The good news is that the temperatures are warm here, the wind speeds are low and we haven't sent any shitty weather your way in 3 days.

Those pics were on your street, Steve?
Wow from what I saw on TV.
Must've been hard on the family to be without power for 24 hours.
Hope everybody's OK.
How're the palms in the enclosure? Is your GH okay?

I was breifly watching KTLA news and weather, and Palmdale California is forecast to drop to 23f tonight. Many other locations are very chilly and even Anahiem (Disneyland) was dipping to 41f. Looks like the place to be is out in the SE. Laaz is sucking up the heat in Charleston SC with temps around 80f.
Cheers, Barrie.
I know part of a tree fell against the front of the house last night......All I can see out the front door is tree limbs blocking the door 😐
Power is still on 8) I had to tie the wires back up to the house yesterday, it is going to be a while before the utility companies can start getting to individual customers.
Anyone hear from Wes, ( Kansas)? ......... Topeka had their share too.
Allen ~ Send all the cold down here you can, I'd rather deal with snow than ice 😀

What's left of my porch is in there somewhere ......
Best wishes to everyone who has been affected by this storm!!

Glad you and yours are OK, Steve.
Nothing from Wes for a couple of days.
Hope your insurance covers the damage.
Here's to no more power outages.
You connected the wires to your house yourself???? 😯 Careful, buddy!
