ICEPOCALYPSE! Winter Storm Jupiter: Dangerous Ice, Heavy Snow On The Way To PLAINS And MIDWEST

Small town central Oklahoma here. Today we have record high temps in the mid to upper 70s and high winds, making fire danger extreme.

Ice storm coming for Friday and Saturday. News is saying half an inch of ice for OKC and to use today to prepare for the ice storm.

Getting more batteries for lanterns and testing out kerosene heater today.

Thanks for the heads up, OP!

I'm in the Midwest on business. I'm supposed to be here until Friday night. I'm getting the hell out of Dodge no later than early Thursday afternoon!

I just saw that! They're calling for at least half an ince of ice where I'm at.

Check This Out!

Ice Storm Facts

A 1/2-inch accumulation on power lines can add 500 pounds of extra weight.

Ice can increase the weight of branches by 30 times.

An ice storm in 2009 centered from northern Arkansas to the Ohio Valley knocked out power to 1.3 million.

What kind of impacts and damage do different amounts of ice cause?

"Crippling"

Widespread accumulations of over 1/2 inch.

With widespread ice accumulations of over 1/2 inch, there is severe tree damage and power outages may last for days.

Is this the time they use their weather control tech to take out the grid and declare marcia law?

I wouldn't put it past the scum that want to control us.

Hmmm...This is Interesting:

A Wolf Moon in conjunction with an Icepocalypse.

What is a Wolf Moon?

During a January Full Moon, Packs of Hungry Wolves gathered around Indian Villages and Howled.

It's currently 68 degrees. The sidewalks and streets are all wet because the ground underneath is thawing.

Here's the latest:

This is “NOT” a snow storm…this is all about sleet and freezing rain. Travel concerns grow late Friday and Friday night.

Saturday: Periods of sleet and freezing rain in the morning…mixing more with liquid rain in the afternoon…travel and power concerns Saturday morning….Ice thickness up to a half an inch…more freezing rain Saturday night

Im in the purple zone....Its been about 10 years since our last big ice storm but it will cause trees to split in two or snap in half, bring down power lines etc......

From a post 4th down from the top:

Ice Storm Facts

A 1/2-inch accumulation on power lines can add 500 pounds of extra weight.

Ice can increase the weight of branches by 30 times.

BTW, How long were you without power?

I got caught up in this one when I was down there on a business trip.

IT WAS HELL!

From Springfield Two Days Ago...They are now in the Danger Zone.

Ice possible on 10-year anniversary of infamous 2007 ice storm

The 10-year anniversary of Springfield's infamous three-day ice storm in 2007 just might yield another ice storm.

Look at the pics!

Pretty much ready here. Tomorrow will finish laundry, mail bills, cook up a big pot of chili and ham & beans so that we have plenty for neighbors too.

I will make cornbread and a big peach cobbler. Have lots of coffee, tea and hot chocolate as well. I need to find my ice cleats that go on my boots.

Have extra blankets and lanterns, both cars filled. If power is out for an extended time, we'll grab the pups and head south for a bit of vacation.

Everyone stay safe! Ice storms are horrible. Try to park vehicles where a tree will not fall on them. Use battery powered lanterns instead of candles. Be safe with kerosene, propane and never use a heater indoors that is not rated for indoor use!

So, yeah. I'm sitting in a Beer Garden, drinking a beer in the Midwest where the temperature is 67 degrees.

Here I am, outside drinking beer, and looking at the full moon decked out in khakis and a pull over short sleeved shirt near the middle of January! The jukebox is cranked, and I've got to tell you guys, it is pumping out a lot of righteous tunes. I just danced to the following song with a really, really cute gal...and it looks like it might be my lucky night. Should I get that chance, I'm going to do her right, real right...I'm talking GLP style!

The gal I'm with was whispering sweet nothings in my ear while we were dancing to this song...

I'm also shopping tomorrow for a few extra essentials, even though my pantry already looks like a general store.

I'm planning on staying in from Friday-Tuesday and enjoying comfort foods and a crackling fire.

I still remember an ice storm we had roll through here on Halloween several years ago. The ice was so heavy it knocked out power lines and several thousand people had no power for about a week. That was when I bought my first generator. I have two now and neither has ever been used, but they're ready to go.

Hello, Wichita!

With all of the ice heading our way, it looks like you're gonna need a Lineman

Glad to hear you are getting ready, Wichita!

Still warm here, but the cold front will be here soon. Moon is just beautiful tonight.

I hope everyone in the path of this ice storm takes it seriously and prepares accordingly. No fun sitting in the dark shivering cold.

bring it on

Luckily I'm a long-term prepper; my whole house has LED emergency lights in every room and I have strings of them ready to plug into a power pack [which will also jump-start my car if needed]. Oil lamps onhand, too.

I'm cooking up comfort foods Friday so they'll just need to be warmed up and I can even do that in my fireplace!

Got books, a portable DVD player and a keyboard for entertainment so no sweat there.

Wierdly: I look forward to challenges such as this to test my protocols and to actually use the stuff I've prepped away!

Here's a toast to Missouri

I'm leaving the outside Beer Garden now and my lady is going with me!

I almost forgot, The Moon was awesome!

On the 10th late at night I had to open the bedroom window it got so hot in the room. It was a pouring rain outside and the night before we had thunder like back in 1993 or 94, except back then it rattled the house and things on the walls. We also had blizzards back then as well.

Before the rains and warming it was bitter cold and snow.
We had rain again on the 11th, I have been up since the early morning on the 11th.

We will probably get bitter cold, snow and ice again, it will be back and forth in rotations.
We were left out of the 2009 ice storm mainly because we are seated in a funnel section of the mountains.

Yet, we got snowed under with the blizzard that followed it.
It split a heavy, healthy and huge tree on the mountain above us and brought it down on our house.
It came down over our master bedroom and reached all the way unto a guest bedroom three rooms away.

We had 5 people show up at our house who got stranded in the storm, they stayed with us until we could dig the way out and take them home.

This is like those days with wet rains swinging into bitter cold and snow.
Any thing can happen here even up unto March and April.

Been hanging out a lot with friends online playing BDO, they are in areas where blizzard types of winters are normal unto them.

Yet, I like in the woods with big trees and they live in the cities with sky scrappers.
They do not have to worry about being crushed to death in their beds by the trees.

All in all I do love the cold and the beauty of winter snow lands
We are having a good time and the game still has up the Christmas decorations.
We are in the desert under the sand now.

It's winter.....It snows......Get over it ffs

Winter Storm Jupiter: Crippling Plains Ice Storm Begins Tonight After West Buried in Feet of Snow

Winter storm watches have already been hoisted for a swath of the Plains and mid-Mississippi Valley from the north Texas panhandle to southern Illinois for what, in some areas, may end up being a crippling ice storm with widespread tree damage and power outages.

Sorry fools! I live in Florida! No ice here! It's 74 degrees and sunny every fucking day! No AC, no heat. My electric bill is $40/ month with two large refrigerators running.

I know, right? Yesterday it was 72 here in NW Arkansas. It looks like the ice is going to miss us completely.

So, my interpretation of their Pet Goat ii stuff is ice age, or extreme cold, catastrophy, all the nonsense the dark occult neocons work for round the clock.

Weather hasn't been normal for years, its all artificial.

Now, when they seem to choose regions to concentrate cold in, notice how other areas that should be getting winter are abnormally warm?

I wonder when Trump is sworn in, will this end?

We're not talking about snow here, brain trust. Ice. Ice storm. Very different from snow storm or blizzard.

STL here. Love that someEcard you posted a link to, will definitely have to share that. 'Tis true, our weather is crazy and constantly changing!

I'm ready for the storm. Just got home and not going to chance going into work tomorrow. If we get the worst case scenario, I'm realizing now I may not leave the house again until at least Saturday, if not Sunday.

Will report back if things get interesting.
