    Welp

    It ain't looking good. Its about 29 and raining and the trees are just starting to make dracking noises. About a half inch of ice on the limbs abovecfive feet or so. Ice stormsxare so sad. I hate to see this one come as we're just now seeing our forest throw off the effects of the last one. You have to lovenatire, and I do, but this trim job is rough to watch. Nothing but pink on the radar to the SE of us which is where its coming from. A slow, big, pink motherfucker of a storm. I'll stay up to hear these trees bust. Gotta know where to trim tomorrow. Last time I got two cords off my yard. Prolly at least that much this time.

    Natures pruning. Judging by your spelling, I'd say you're riding out the storm in true Posthole fashion. Check in when you can.

    Hope all is well out your way dude. Ice storms are nasty! Mid-80's here ... come on down and we'll hit the beach ... a little sumpin' to take yard work off your mind ... oh, or lovin' tires.

    We've got the leading edge of posthole's weather.. right now probably only a quarter inch of ice and holding. We could dodge a bullet; looks like it may turn to snow here this afternoon. I'll take it. Good luck Barry.

    we don't have any ice but we may end up with 6-7 inches of rain. moderate risk for high wind, heavy thunderstorms, large hail and a possible tornado or three. Thought I needed a shave this morning but on closer inspection it could be a set of gills coming in. I'm either growing webs between my fingers or I've developed a severe case of syndactyly.

    It is sickening. I've lost two big mature redbuds and the tops out of some pines that were just fully recovered from the last big ice storm we had five years or so ago. Its 32and raining and the trees are getting heavier and heavier and once in a while you'll hear a pop and a crash and another one is down. Just sickening.
