	Ice storm is here
fish patty Fish Addict Posts: 539 Kudos: 223 Votes: 255 Registered: 04-Oct-2006	Last time I posted & asked if anyone else was freezing it wasn't long afterward that others posted saying their nice weather also turned bad. So......... here we ago again. Sleet & freezing rain has already hit here in Oklahoma. Warnings as always about the possibility of power lines going down from the weight. So if you're not ready for a bad week-end, some of you might see to that.

We heard that 1300 people were without power in town. After finding candles & a flashlight , the next thing I did was to cover up the tank with a blanket. Now I'm on the comp. & found a site about what to do with your tank if the power goes out. I put it below, but if someone has a better site or wants to add more info. please feel free. And best of luck to you all! http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/management/greco_power%20out.html

My roommate tried to walk to church which is only a few blocks away and she said she made it a few houses, slipped but didn't actually fall a few times and gave up b/c it was just too hard. I think today is a great day to sit in side with a good book, a cup of coffee and just relax. (at least until the boyfriend wakes up and decides we have to go play outside.) haha Edit: did I say a CUP of coffee?? I meant a JUG of coffee.

I'm guessing we'll end up with 5. I live in a valley and many storms go right over us. I used to be Snow White, but I drifted. ~ Mae West

It got here, roads were ok. Side streets was trashed and alot of ice on the cars. Storm was kind of a let down after all that hype. But its supposed to snow here later today Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

crazyred Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005	Yep, we're getting a cold blast down here in the tropics as well. It's in the 50's today. It's supposed to only be in the 40's tomorrow with freeze conditions "possible" overnight.....I guess this is what goes for winter down here. I hope all y'all stay warm. ~~Melissa~~ "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."

sham Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004	Took 2 buckets of ice melt to get my truck unstuck while it was in the middle of an asphalt driveway. Wasn't going anywhere on that sheet of ice. Doesn't help I forget where I put the sandbags last year and everyone is sold out so I can't weigh down the back tires. Stupid rear wheel drive.

RickyM Enthusiast Posts: 175 Kudos: 101 Votes: 62 Registered: 12-Oct-2006	This reminds me the ice storm we had in Montreal exactly 10 years ago. We lost power for 7 days . Now with 3 tanks of fish, not sure what to do when there's a prolonged power outage (of more than 24 hour), which is not uncommon here ..
