I may be offline this weekend if the winter storms they are predicting for the Ark-La-Miss area pans out.

I wont mind some snow or sleet but i dont want a repeat of the ice storm we had in 94 where we were without elect. for 2 months.

Good luck!  I was right on the line in between a Tornado Watch to the Southeast and Winter Storm Watch to the Northwest last night.  All we got were some strong winds and a trace of snow. :)

I had 2 feet of snow over the weekend, and Tues thru Thurs, it was in the upper 50's, so its all gone already... didn't ever get to use the sled :(

Good luck through the storm...

Lets hope it doesnt get bad. Just cold. I'd hate to have ice damage and
lose my 6 year old bradford pear trees, and my wisteras to ice damage.

Looks like it may stay north of us.

Bradford Pears... I love those trees.. had one in the yard over 30' that split in 1/3 during a windstorm. We managed to save it for another year before another good wind took another chunk. Had to finally drop the tree... Was going to replace it with another, but from what I was told, its only gonna happen again. Put in a few flowering cherry's instead. Not near as nice, but more durable.
