ICE STORM 2009

One reason I love living in Arkansas is the weather change. Around here they say if you don't like the weather stick around it will change. We get all the season (fall is the best) and I love rain which we get lots of. We knew there was a storm coming but I don't think anyone thought that it was going to be as bad as it was. Its crazy to have to call in to work because you can't get your car out of the drive way because the road is covered in an inch of ice. The rain started coming down about 2pm on Monday 1-26-09 and didn't stop until Wednesday night 1-28-09. We had rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, lightning and freezing fog (yes fog). Everyone was told to leave work at 3:30pm on Monday because the weather was getting so bad. Thousands of people lost power and tree branches covered the roads, I have never seen anything like it.
