Snow Blowers don't do anything for ice, Bundu!  It's really bad here.  State of emergency declared, asking for federal relief, etc.  Supposed to be the worst ice storm in the history of KC.  There were 270,000 without power at the peak, down to 225k now.  The whole city looks like a war zone coated in ice.  Nearly every tree has at least some branches that are broken off.  I spent about 4 hours today helping to clear mine and my parents' driveways and walkways.  I was without power for about 3 hours last night, things are still flickering every now and then.  North of the river they also got up to 12" of snow.  Thunder 33 lost a car and part of his garage to a tree and is still without power.  They are staying with friends.  The only good thing is that it is relatively warm-just above the freezing mark.  The ice will chunk up with a scraper and can be shoveled away, and the roads are wet but not frozen.  We got 2+ inches of rain since Tuesday afternoon and every bit of it is frozen solid on trees, cars, houses, etc.  I drove around town today taking pictures of all the downed trees and frozen solid cars.  I'll post a couple when I get them developed.  This has not been a fun couple of days...
