Lake Mille Lacs Ice Sheets Pushed Ashore At Minnesota’s Izatys Resort 

Amazing, unbelievable video. You have got to see it to believe it..

Iced: I still cannot believe this is what trees look like in spring in my backyard..

...Iced movements..

Not to be crude, but it’s literally so icy that while my dog Lady Bailey was .. making a movement.. she was also gliding down the yard at the same time.

IMPACTS…SNOW AND ICE COVERED ROADS WILL CREATE HAZARDOUS
TRAVEL CONDITIONS. POWER OUTAGES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE DUE TO
THICK ACCRETIONS OF FREEZING RAIN.

* WINDS…EAST TO NORTHEAST 5 TO 10 MPH IN THE VALLEYS…AND
SOUTHEAST 10 TO 20 MPH ON THE RIDGES. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
WEST ACROSS THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS AND CENTRAL MOUNTAIN`S IN THE
WAKE OF A COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON…AND INCREASE TO 15 TO
20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE LATER WEDNESDAY.

…Snow is one thing. Freezing rain for hours upon end are quite another. And a half inch of ice with 40 mile per hour winds is going to be possibly disastrous for a whole lot of people.

No school bus on the road.. No plane in the air? How much air travel will be grounded tomorrow due to the massive storm? Lots.. according to forecasters, ice will be prevalent over some of the largest airports in the nation along the East Coast. Travelers: Good luck, and prepare..

The Great 2,000 Mile Blizzard of 2011

Don’t expect to see these moving tomorrow morning.

School closings and delays expected across 2000 miles as the storm impact continues..

Latest AP story on the massive winter storm rolling across the nation -- and causing misery as it travels

It's going to be a long week

 
While I am not a typical ‘run to the store to get bread and milk!’ excitable kind of guy, the latest weather forecasts coming out from various model runs are giving me cause for concern.. A major winter storm, with blizzard conditions possible in many areas, and an nasty ice storm in others, is forcing me to evaluate and .. perhaps get to the store for a 2 to 3 day haul of food. Just in case.

It may be good to do if you’re in any of the areas tonight on this National Weather Service warning map in the blue or pink colors…Which is a vast and expansive part of the United States of America.

The promised “January thaw” lasted about 50 hours at the beginning of this month.. a promised ‘warm up’ was to come late this month. My latest forecast for this deep dark neck of the formerly economic bastion of growth in the coal region of the United States is calling for snow or ice 95% of the forecast time.

….The thaw is coming. As is Christmas.
