Panic panic panic

Like, have we never had snow or ice before??

Like 30 minutes press briefing being held. Yes, we're going to get a ton of snow and some ice.

Stay warm, stay off the roads and stay safe. I mean it's simple and common sense.

All the press briefings I'm hearing is as if we're preparing for some doomsday event.

Yup. At the same time, there will be a coating of ice on everything about an inch thick...and the power lines will go down. AND until the ice melts, it will be too dangerous for the crews to get out there and fix the lines. IMO THAT is the only thing you have to worry about.

Me, I am worried about ice, but I can't stay home if the food pantry opens up. I just bought an awesome pair of super spiky cleats. No broken hips for me!

@4meAndyou I don’t know if it’s just Oklahoma but if a person has to be on a C-Pap machine to sleep the electric companies make those homes and their electric circuit (not sure if that is the correct term for it) in the neighborhood a top priority to get repaired. They aren’t supposed to let it go too long, especially at night. They have a roster of everyone who is on oxygen or a C-Pap machine. My neighbor has a C-Pap and told me about it. With so many elderly in this neighborhood she’s likely not the only one.

@cherokeepatti Yes, Swampflower explained in one of her posts that they had to notify the power company that she is on oxygen. They also have two generators.

@4meAndyou I hear generators starting up in the neighborhood every time there is a power outage. Doesn’t take whoever has them 10 minutes to start them up.
