We've been under snow and ice since the Wednesday before Christmas, I've heard the ice storms are a real pain though.  Good luck.

I got some on the Ice storm here in Tulsa. Its only about 4 inches but its really hard ice snow, and my car is in a ice cube. About 6 years ago we had a really bad ice storm here. The trees were frozen, and so many trees fell on parked cars and power lines froze and fell off. It was crazy.

Its 72°F here at 7:30PM, projected high of 82°F tomorrow. I'm actually wearing long pants and shoes rather than shorts and huaraches! (We do that here about 3 months a year ;))

I was thinking the same thing as I shoveled the snow from our driveway for the second day in a row.  You folks east of us be safe, the news was showing solid iced over trees in Oklahoma.
