    It's about to hit the fan for us on Friday.

    Same here. Depending on the location we can have up to 6” of the white stuff, plus 1/4" of ice. I'm stocked up on bread, milk and eggs. 🤣
    Really though, I have enough beer and whiskey to get me through the weekend.
    Just need to refill my 5-gal kerosene can tonight to make sure I have emergency heat if the ice takes the power lines out.

    I ain't skeeirt of nothin' but that daggum ice. One report I heard this morning was 3/4" of ice. Been there, done that. Don't ever want to do it again.

    We are out of power for 2.5 weeks. There's nothing like taking a shower in a 42 degree bathroom!

    At least this time around, we have a gas fireplace, 2 kerosene heaters and another gas heater out in the sunroom. Prepping for the worst, hoping for the best.

    Yeah, 3/4" of ice is a heck of a lot to weigh on tree limbs and power lines. I've seen widespread damage from far less. Hopefully that doesn't happen.
    My hot water heater is electric, so showers wouldn't be happening. I'd be using a pot of water heated on a camp stove to wash up.

    Well it looks like the winds are finally dying down. Now perhaps the firefighters can get a handle on the wildfires that are still burning out of control in Los Angeles County.

    Fires here are insane and heartbreaking. I think @nooshinjohn lives up off the 101 somewhere. There's a new fire in that area right now (north of the 101) approaching homes. Hope he's OK.

    My sister had to evacuate from her home in Hollywood because of the mandatory evacuation orders.

    Over 6000 homes and structures have been completely destroyed. No containment in sight.uugy5vxhbq2b.jpg
