OT for forum members in the Midwest --how are you doing?

[haulingthescoreup]

Hi, everyone --I guess if you have no power and no cable, we won't be hearing from you, but how is everyone doing? MV and Mrs. MV, and everyone else?

This reminds me of the California wildfires several months back...

I am a former mid-westerner

They can have your freezing rain and snow-

Windy City weather today is low 23 and high 35.

Freezing rain all day today and expected until about midnight tonight. 500+ flights cancelled from O'Hare today. 

 Hospitals increased staffing to handle accidents from people slipping and falling and car accidents.

Well, most of downtown, HQ and our plant lost power for 12 hours.  Server APS gave out later.  Roads suck.

We were lucky - kept power all day and night at home.  As long as the wind stays down we should be OK - lots and lots of ice on the power cables and trees

Hey, you can do the "the network's down" dance!

I know what you mean about the wind and ice. We usually get ice storms more than snow around here, and we live in the woods. That reminds me, guess it's time to stock up on candles and matches and other fun things.

Well, at least you Midwesterners won't be walking around in shorts on Christmas day!! It was 78 here (Tennessee/Mississippi border) on Tuesday and today the high is 55. Would not be surprised if I am running my AC on Christmas. It's just not right!! I want cold cold weather for the holidays!!! P.S. You guys be careful in the ice and buckle up!! Remember patience is a virtue...especially on ice!!!!!

Cleveland had a bit of rain, now we're just cold.  Our family Christmas party is tomorrow, of course, it's expected to be miserable outside. 

Leaving for NC on the 21st, driving thru WV mountains.  I PRAY that the weather isn't too bad.  Cannot wait to move to NC....someday.
