At least Zip's got gas so she has hot water and can cook on her stovetop. A kerosene heater is all she's got to keep warm as long as the kerosene holds out. There are power outages all over so it could be days before electricity is restored.

Geeze, Chrissie, reading this thread makes me embarassed. Me who lives where the cold and snow is supposed to be has been mostly bone dry all winter. We get a few flurries, and they melt within a couple of days, if not sooner.We just haven't had a cold winter. We did get a few days at or below -0-, but nothing like I've experienced in the past; and the winds haven't been kicking up much.

Must be all this global warming stuff, cause I have friends in Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, who are really pissed at this white sheet and want it to go away NOW!

Never have been big on ice storms, though we have black ice at times.

If you get to speak to her again, give her my best for the duration and I'll be including her and other southren friends in prayers.

Geez, folks...people are really getting spoiled...this has been a MILD winter, with average temperatures running WAY above normal. It's only February 14th, for crying out loud. I remember getting 16 inches of snow on MAY NINTH, when I lived in Syracuse, NY years ago.

I can remember a hail storm in Montana back in 78 or maybe 79, where we had hail the size of snowballs! My daughters were in a wedding in CA--either June or July--and we put some ini the freezer to show them when they got back.

In the area of Helena, the state capital, they had cars dented, windshields broken, lots of house windows broken, and double wide homes with major dent damage, as well as roof damage to multiple types of construction materials! It was a huge financial whammy to insurance companies.

We had a cow that had just calved a couple of days before and she had her baby laying right out in the middle of the pasture. All the cows headed for the woods when the hail started, and momma cow did, too.

This baby heifer was really special to us, so my husband headed out to the field using his construction hard hat and a couple of metal trash can lids for protection. His plan was to get the baby up and moving to at least under a tree in the pasture. The hail was bad enough had it hit right, it could have killed her--seriously.

Anyways, he got the baby up, and apparently it was about the time momma remembered 'oh my baby'....and she come on a rip from out of the woods bellering for all she was worth! He stepped back a good many steps, and little Stormy (she acquired her name that day) headed for momma!

Our trash can lids were ruined--warped out of shape!

One of the first things I noticed when I moved to South Dakota was the little dings I saw in cars parked in a mall parking lot. I told my wife "they must let their kids run amuck with B-B guns around here". Little did I know...

Several months later, a horrible hailstorm brushed the northern suburbs of Rapid City, causing damage similar to what you cited: smashed windows and windshields; amazing destruction for a relatively small storm. They had to call out the plows to scrape the deep hail off of the Interstate.

We never suffered any damage with out there, though...but with two weeks to go until moving day in Tennessee, a very localized hail event went right over my damn house, and dinged my Toyota all to hell, after five years of hail-free weather. Go figure. (Let me tell you...the racket of all that hail hitting my house was deafening, and had my cats completely freaked out.)

Vacationed in SD last summer. Rental car had recent hail damage according to the retail agreement . . . and hood to tail dents. Don't think that I'd want to live in an area where ice falling from the sky is a regular event.

Then there are the tornadoes...not to mention the good 'ol fashioned high plains blizzards. One year was enough.
