It's supposed to ice up in Arkansas Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.
Looks like No. TX is getting some. Maybe OK is getting clobbered right now? Hope KS and MO are getting snow not ice. Well I'm next...maybe. Gulf moisture is battling a cold front 50 miles to my northwest. That's where sleet falls. Freezing rain can be a real bugger too. I'm thinking that will be inevitable sometime this weekend.
Fairly well prepared on survival stuff. You know. The stuff we always talk about. I'm not as well prepared as some members but much better than we were in 2000 when ice basically shut down most of Arkansas.
Got a pot of rice on simmer and big chicken that's done pre-roasting with some vegetables and they are now on 200. Sure, we already had dinner but the smell of comfort food makes things...comfortable. We may have to do a little taste-test-snack. A stack of DVDs and some good reading are waiting for entertainment.
Been topping off torch batteries yesterday and all this evening. Lanterns big and small, 6 HotWires in the house, others scattered about. Lots of LED lights. Only one SureFire...that black HA III A2 KevinL forced me to buy.
I hope we don't lose power but if we do I believe we're ready.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri guys -
Could you tell me what's going on in your area?
