I also send well wishes to those of you in the storm's path! Ice is so dangerous, so please stay safe.

We were hit with an ice storm last week. A tip I saw on the news before our storm hit was for people in the area that didn't have garages. Don't know how many people down south that may involve, but they said to pull the windshield wipers out from the windshield and cover them with a pair of athletic socks. Be sure to leave the wipers out from the windshield after you put the socks over them. A friend of mine tried it and said it worked like a charm. Just thought I would pass that along in case it might help anyone.

This bears repeating. I saw my dh do that this weekend. He didn't know about the socks though.

You are so sweet Kittykat. I'm praying for you. Years ago we had an ice storm and didn't have power in January for 3 days. You know I live up 'noth" so it was awful. thank goodness for generators. Hope you have one!

I saw earlier 250,000 without power. Hang in there everyone. Wishing you all the best. Kitty .... fix you something to eat. It will make you feel better. Smiley Happy

Re: To Our Posters In The South

Our power was out for about 2 hours this morning. I could hear trees snapping. There is still some freezing drizzle and more to come.

Hey you, get off of my cloud...
