live in a warmer climate, Florida.  Crismonlass, you have my sympathy, but you could not pay me enough money to live where you do.  My sister lives in Rhode Island, so I imaginge she got some of that storm too.

Good luck to all you northeasters up there.

The devastation of the trees in unnerving.

I have seen ice storms before, including a whopper back about ten years ago, but never anything quite like this one.

I thank heavens that I had my trees trimmed back a few weeks ago or I'd be the owner of a bunch of splinters right now.

I can definitley emphasize with you; I lived/worked in New Hampshire in the early 80's & endured some of the most intense winters in my life..It is definitley g-ds country but the winters were quite frustrating..I can recall one firday evening during an intense snow storm the drive home which should have been 20 mins turned into a 3 hr sojourn. The next morning I could not get out of my place because the snow had completly baracaded the front door...

warmer clients?

definately a freudian slip ))

that lives in a warm CLIENT!      

OK, I'm a smart ass, had to post that.

I live in SF Bay area so really friggin cold here is 50 and it will be 48 tomorrow.   I'm from Philly, but gone 30 years...so I'm a weenie when it comes to cold.  Hate, hate, hate cold.   I never could find my golf ball in that white shit.

But, I used to live in New England.

Yes, the icy-rains in New England are among the worst. Some of the other bad storms that I can remember include the 1996 storm in Pennsylvania: 7 1/2 feet of snow fell over 3 days, bridge collapsed; 2006 storm in Iowa, police closed the highways, people stranded, no hotel rooms available.

I am from Singapore. And I love the heat, humidity and the sun.

Nasty as the wind driven, soaking rain was here last night, thankful that it was not five degrees colder, and that I live 200 miles farther south.  Ice storms are the worst...will take snow over ice any day of the week!
