I'm seriously tempted to go get lunch anyway. I spend so much time sitting in this house all week, I need the few times I get to get out. I'm going stir crazy with everyone here.

Well I tried, but when I saw the thickness of the ice on my car, I noped.

We're still rain here but that just means we have flooding now.

We've had ice since early AM and it's likely to continue for a couple more hours. It looks like there's close to a half inch of ice pellets on the ground and when I went to put something in the mailbox earlier it was frozen shut. The police dept is advising not to go out unless necessary. I hope they call school for tomorrow soon.
DS2 was up at 7:15am and I've been dragging all day. I had grand plans to accomplish things since the big kids are home to help distract him. Oh well

They already canceled school for tomorrow. The county is at a level 2 snow emergency. We're expecting another 12 hours of snow fall. I don't know how I'm going to dig myself out of the drive way. We are already canceled for tomorrow too. My county is level 2, we had ice here till about 2 pm. I thought we’d switch to snow earlier but we did not

I’m in the NE and we are on the border of 5-8” and 8-12”. It’s coming down pretty hard here and we had hours of icy mix this afternoon. School cancelled tomorrow a couple hours ago. I’m glad DS won’t need to drive in it. I’m just planning on hibernating at home.

Still rain here. H is saying it's going to be a bust but I have a weird feeling we will wake up about 3 AM without power. Hopefully not. I need to get about 2 more hours in tomorrow.

My parents live in a level 3 county, and my stepdad is still planning on going in to work tonight.* His workplace is level 2.
Why are men?
*He is not a first responder, or anyone who would be required to report to work on level 3.

Why are men? *He is not a first responder, or anyone who would be required to report to work on level 3. Men exactly. Our county is one that refuses to call level 3 but regardless, H is *technically* considered first responder since he works for the RR and his work badge is supposed to get him by any restrictions like that. Never had to test it but he is expected to show up pretty much regardless of weather. Last week he went in really late because he knew they weren't running the equipment in his territory but he said they may be out clearing trees off the tracks if we get what is predicted. So I'm really looking forward to that tomorrow...

Meanwhile, H brought it the bootie things that have studs in them that slip over his regular boots and was all laughing and saying he brought in his winter tires so he can get to the truck in the morning. Dude. If you can't even walk to the fucking truck without studded boots, how are you going to drive?!?!

It is still sleeting here. It was supposed to be snow by now. I've never seen so much sleet. We easily have 3-4 inches of it.

I have H talked into staying here unless he gets called to fix something. Nobody will know any different since his work truck is in the shop so he's in a rental.

MH is driving into work for his plow shift. He thinks it should def be a level 3 out here. For the first time, he's going to call me to let me know he made it in. This is crazy.

I'll be thinking of him! I've been watching the counties all slowly moving to a 3. Vinton went from not even a level 1 to a level 3 in a matter of an hour.

His schedule has been nuts. He worked from 3 am-3 pm today and is on his way back in. Idk how he does it. I'm hoping Frankin and Licking move to L3 soon. Folks need not be out in this but you know employers are going to employer and try to force people in if it's a 2 🙄. I wonder what he does if it's a L3...

We're switching over now. We all of the counties around us in Ohio are level 3 except Athens but I think someone said Athens never calls a 3 either. But 77 is pretty much shut down at this point which means we're about to have a ton of trucks stranded here. Ugh

And Athens went 3 last night. We have a nice dusting of snow but I'm not sure how much ice is under that.

Still level 2 here, but lots of places are delaying opening. Starbucks isn't opening until 10:30. Originally said 8:30 and they changed it.

Snow has started. The told us they are still expecting 10-14 for us Is it starting on time for you? Our freezing rain is supposed to start overnight but it seems like we never reached the expected high temp today so I'm wondering if it will come sooner. it did not. It rained most of Wednesday and didn't start snowing until about 4pm. We ended up with only 12.7 inches, but roads are worse today than yesterday.
