This storm wasn't as bad as the one in December 07.  During that one I didn't have power for a whole week and the tree branches breaking sounded like gunshots.  There was an inch of ice covering everything.  This time there is only about a cm of ice on the trees, so most of them are doing fine.








I don't want to de-ice my car or bike so I'm staying in today.

It's only a cm of ice, and it is transparent.  Not as bad as they said it would be because I still have electricity.

The pictures look like the University of Tulsa. Am I correct?

I grew up in NE Oklahoma. My Parents and Brother still live around Tulsa. I spoke to them on Sunday and they said it was not expected to be anywhere near as bad as Nov. 2007. My Parents were without power for almost 4 weeks from the '07 Storm. One thing I do not miss from OK is the Icy Winters. Snow I can handle but the Ice Storms suck. OK is just far enough south that it always seems to be on that line between Rain and Snow that produces Ice anytime a Cold Front moves through.

Yep, it is TU.  I'm from KS and we don't normally get freezing rain up there, although it has happened before.  And someone in my apartment complex has a BFL sticker...
