_Axe_ Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 You safe and snug Dave Hoosier? Crews hope to re-open a 25-mile section of Interstate 64 near Evansville, Indiana, today. It's been closed due to a storm that's been wreaking havoc on a wide swath of the country. More than 100 people were stranded on the highway Wednesday night and the state had to call in the National Guard to rescue them. Hundreds of thousands of people remain without power in Ohio, where the wintry mix has caused at least six deaths. At least five people have been killed digging out their cars or shoveling snow in Michigan. Up to ten inches of snow has fallen in some spots, and temperatures have fallen to as low as 17 degrees below zero. Icy roads also have caused at least two fatal accidents in Texas, and police in Arkansas are urging drivers to take it slow and give themselves plenty of room to stop. "I was scared, wondering about the kids. How was I going to feed them?" said Mary Craddock, a 28-year-old waitress from Hartford, Kentucky, who was stranded on the interstate in Evansville, Indiana. Paducah, Kentucky, received 14 inches of snow, topping the yearly average of 10 inches and doubling its previous one-day record. In some parts of south-central Kentucky, the ice was 2 to 4 inches thick. "This is a storm you might see two or three of these in your adult life," said David Humphrey, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Paducah.

Snarker Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Merry Christmas to everyone! Kids are in bed, which means I have work to do. Oh, and if you get the chance, pick up a movie called "The Ref". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 <font size=5 font color=red>Merry Christmas!!!</font> Special thanks to Mace for his wonderful Christmas message. Christmas trees will never look the same after seeing that picture! :mad: :mad: Originally posted by Axe2121: You safe and snug Dave Hoosier?Yes, Becky and I are safe and snug at home. It's a good thing, because the snow and sleet from Wednesday and Thursday have compressed into about a foot of solid ice covering the driveway. The snowshovel only makes little nicks in it. Since the driveway is on the north side of the house, the snow drifted there and it stays in the shadows all day. Our temperature today has already zoomed up from 0 degrees to 19 degrees. If only I had a flamethrower, we'd be in business. Any ice-removal suggestions that won't leave a big hole where my driveway and garage used to be? I'll bet if I announced there was free beer hidden under the ice I'd have planeloads of Australians arriving here in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mace Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 It was 22 degrees celsius (about 76 degrees fahrenheit) yesterday, more of the same today. And NO SNOW! Very mild for this time of year. I just thought I'd share that with those trapped indoors due to excessive snow falls and low temperatures. :mad: :mad: Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRRRRRRRRRR!! Mace, if you're trying to turn me into your very own personal stalker, you are certainly going about it in the right way. Sorry to hear the weather was so chilly down your way. I figured it would be a typical summer day at about 120 degrees F down under. Sorry for the lack of my own smileys, but someone used up the smiley quota. GRRRR!!
