re: Louisiana Ice Storm Thread *Winter Storm Warning*

It’s a cluster now in and around Little Rock. I-40 east to Memphis is shut down.

Reminds me of a pinball machine

i know that's what it's supposed to but still a weird feeling.

Ice dams on roofs SUCK. My youngest comes bebopping in my office. "Dad, there is water pouring out of the ceiling in the laundryroom"

He aint never lied. An hour and a half later, with hair dryers under the deck trying to thaw out the ice, tearing the gutters down to not push water under drip edge, scraping at the ice with a shovel on a 8 foot ladder in pouring rain to get to shingles in some places. Came in and tore about 1/2 the sheetrock out on wash room ceiling. Cleaned up. Got it down to a slow drip directly into a bucket.....Good God that sucked.

Did I mention it was thundering and 31 degrees?

everyone's sheds and awnings are collapsing. like...6 in the past hour

Yep. Those metal awnings a collapsing all over the place.

Not a drip I have never been so happy to be be needing a washroom redone. For a bit there I was thinking I was going to have a negative impact on four different rooms in the house.

Another damn blizzard started here just 75 miles west of you. You might get some of this snow in a bit.

snow is fine

just no more ice

We've made it to 31. We've got an hour an a half to make the melting point. Let's see if we keep the below freezing streak going.

They have updated the snowfall amount. Between here, down to pine bluff and back up to I-40, they are now saying 8-12 inches.
I bet we are pushing towards 20 inches here at the house between the two days of snow fall.
