Woke up around 5am,tried to look out my side window of bedroom,but it was covered in ice..looked out window where my cam is,and just saw a glaze on top of the snow pack,trees covered in ice,and sidewalk and road sheet of ice.started my car(remote starter)and ran it with the heat/defroster on full blast..fell 3 times trying to get to my car(elbow is a little sore).did not have to much trouble getting ice of the car windows(heat for 15 minutes helped alot)side roads are an icy mess,but main roads are not to bad.exit/entrence ramps are a bit icy in spots.would have to say had about 1/4" of ice accumulation.First ice storm warning here on Long Island in a long time.last one I can remember was back in 1994...Have had just about everything here in the NYC/LI metro area the past 12 months.had major Nor'easter last March with lots of damage,Tornadoes,Micro & Macroburst,Blizzard,snowstorms,Now an Ice Storm,even had an offshore 3.0 earthquake in Dec..Only thing we did not get was a Tropical system..
coming to work when i was getting on the entrance ramp to the express way(135) I was going slow because it was ice.guy in car behind me was right on my tail beeping his horn at me.got on express the guy flew by me..few miles down while I was getting of on an exit ramp i saw this car up on a pile of snow on the side.It was the same car that was tailing and beeping at me.Guy was out of car so I slowed down opened my window,beeped my horn and just pointed at him an laughed and said remember me,the cautiouse driver you tailed. took off.If he did not tail and beep at me earlier I would have stopped and helped him. |
