The last time NYC got an ice storm like that was around 1976. Looked like my car was wrapped inside an Ice cube. An Inch thick of ice. all around.
I poured gallons of antifreeze over the whole car to thaw it out. Worked but Useless attempt. because The locks were frozen for a day. I couldn't drive anywhere with the iced roads and all, just wanted to warm up the car. My '69 Charger. Stupid me never put it back in the garage the night before.

I think a lot of us in Missouri are in for it our snow totals are going to be low but the ice is going to be 1/4 inch to an 1 inch predicted
1/4 you lose power lines

I noticed most meteorologists prefer the "Euro model" predictions. More accurate.

Ice storms are beautiful, but I wouldn't wish them on anybody. Good luck to all of you who are possibly affected.

Bad Ice storms are known to cause the highest death rate. Plan ahead and watch from your living room TV.
Watch for Ice damming on your roof and leaders. Large heavy falling Ice sickles will hurt you.
