Ready for the Ice Storm ?

I’m on the very front edge of this system, at the high altitude base of the Rockies
The humidity this morning here was 78%. That’s about 50% points higher than our daily high, and the trees were frosting, but just lightly.
Doesn’t bode well for the rest of you once it’s in my wake. Stay safe TB’ers

Up to 12 inches here forecast, along with 1 inch ice and 1 inch sleet. We lost power for 10 days in the 2003 ice storm and 9 days in the 2009 ice storm....here we go again.. damn
We're on the furthest outskirts but it only takes only a few snowflakes to drive the populace into a Godzilla-esque panic.
All the milk, bread, and eggs > gone. We figured once the weather turns bad, everybody wants French Toast.

About an inch of ice on the road here

We were projected to get ice followed by up to 20" of snow in central Missouri. The ice is missing us and the accumulation is now expected to be about 6". I was prepared for ice except that I don't have a secondary heat source if the power grid had failed. I should install another wood burning stove...

6 " snow already in my front yard. Ice moving in about an hour from now. Only .02" an hr ice forecast but for 5 hrs or so. Then returns tonight.
.5- 1" forecast.
I hate ice

We're waiting on 5 to 8" of snow, 1/10 ice and some sleet followed by a 4-hour break and 1-3 inches as a kicker.
Hate Ice Storms! Moved out of sunny SoCal ten years ago, have survived two ice storms, the last one dropped a thirty five foot cherry tree on my newly installed roof.
Went grocery shopping on Friday and that was a bust. All the lunatics panicking and cleaning out the stores. So far, we have about 4 inches of light powder, and it seems to be letting up. I guess we'll see what happens overnight and tomorrow.
Yes! Went out earlier for sleds and frozen mozzarella sticks.
I ate the sticks during the eagles game, though.
If you get cold note that burning basses give off a good amount of heat. I'm not sure about inhaling the finish fumes, though. 
Right outside Louisville KY, so far we’ve had about 9” of snow. Roads are terrible and ice storm supposedly coming a little later. Went to Kroger around 10am during the heavy snow and loaded up on chili supplies
Last time we had freezing for days in a row, my toilet pipes froze
out by Lake Travis
Wow; yeah Richmond forecast is either going to be 3-6 inches or 9-13 depending on who you're getting your weather from. Supposed to be pretty cold this week too; and more snow Saturday just to get us all back in the spirit. Eggs, bacon, bread and milk cleaned out at the local stores. I guess everyone is having a good breakfast tomorrow
As ready as we can be here in Maryland. Expecting anything between 6-12” of snow, will likely get some ice, too. My kids are ecstatic at the prospect of school cancellation. I work from home most days, so no major shift for me - except for a sledding/snowball fight break or two!

I'm in north Arkansas. Will likely get a few inches of snow but can get enough ice to make it interesting. I am keeping extra generator fuel and space heaters. I am in the middle of a switch to natural gas and am not hooked up yet. My emergency heat strips are no longer installed. Missed it by a couple weeks.
I'm a bit of a prepper so I am ready with supplies and food stuff if needed.
