I would like to see some winter precip as long as the electricity stays on!

Then it totally sucks.

Ha ha! Yeah, those ice storms can be inconvenient...and surreal. I used to pull guard duty at the R. W. Norton Art Gallery, where I was an outside guard. I'll never forget this one winter, I think it was the fall/winter of 95' I think...Caddo/Bossier Parishes were encased in ice, and there were mass power outages all over the area. I remember showing up for my shift one day during all this...parked my car and stepped out to the most silent, pristine evening. That whole day had been freeze-framed in perpetual twilight! Everything was covered in ice, everything! All of the streetlights were out, houses were dark. Not even the birds were chirping! I felt like Chuck Heston in "The Omega Man". It was one of those bizarre, defining moments that ya never forget, and carry with ya until the end of your days.

Al I know exactly what you mean. I have seen a few ice storms over the decades and there is a certain pristine peace, quiet, and tranquility to a frozen landscape. It is like time stands still or something. Like the final scene in Kill Bill vol 1.

I want one of those bamboo "drinking bird" fountains...
