2nd bad ice storm in 5 days tonite with 60 mph winds

[Warp Daddy]

We are getting blasted again NOW . 60 mph winds 41 degrees huge ice chunks being blown off ice and haevy snow encrusted trees crashing into our home hitting windows raising hell.

Roads are glare ice will turn to snow after midnite . high winds expected till 7 am tomorrow . 2nd storm like this in less than a week .

This is quite the winter we're having, isn't it? Hope you guys are okay up there!

Drive carefully! Ice is so much worse than snow

Update : Howled all nite quit around 7 am , more huge branches down , but no power outage or real damage to the house

. Last nite when i wrote this the large ice chunks were hitting the house and Windows like rapid Mortar fire ( we have over 40 windows ). I was concerned that a window or two might blow out with the combo of large flying ice chunks and 60 mph wind gusts . Everything up here this am is like a friggen hockey rink and the roads in town are pretty good considering .

We're heading to Tremblant in the am for a couple of days -- tomorrow up there will be "interesting " 40 k/ph wind gusts so could be a 4 layer player tomorrow , Friday the wind is not a factor ( so far)

We DID NOT get the predicted snow last nite just rain which melted the heavy ice from the previous storm which created the missiles then another icing incident -- damn what a winter ALL in less than 7 days !!
