@superjames1992 get himIce storms = typically more widespread damage then severe weather, but severe can do more damage at a more localized standpoint

I’m not a big severe guy tbh. ?#jameshatessevereweenies
There's a lot of controversy over this, so I'm interested to find out the results.
Let me tell you, the one in 1973 is still the MOTHER of ice storms in ATL... The 2000 events were a mere infant compared to that beast.The last one I remember here in ATL that was pretty serious was Jan 23 2000? I was hella young though and don’t remember it well.
I know what ice storms are capable of and how serious they can be. With that being said, I’d like to experience a bad one, just so I can say I’ve went through it. I think that’s what it basically comes down to for me. Lord knows I may regret this post in the future...
I’m desperate enough this years to saw my way out as long as I can extricate myself and family after a day or two. A cpl nights w the propane stove won’t kill me. Just stop the damn sloppy rain.....of course it’ll be like the Mohave dessert here in August/Sept I have no doubt.I would prefer snow, but in the winter I will take anything frozen over 33 and rain. I have been through a couple of big ice storms (the last one in Dec 2005). we can't control them and no, I do not like the tree damage. however, a true ice storm is an amazing event to experience - and it is gorgeous when everything is covered in ice (esp if the sun comes out). I am a true weenie I guess, I love all kinds of extreme wx. I understand a lot do not like them, but for those of us who do the editorialization and assumption that "everyone' hates ice storms does get old after a while.
I was very small but remember having to go to central ga to my grandparents to escape the metro Atl Icemageddon only to try to get back home from the 23” of snow laid down by the central ga mauler?. Those were the real winters here!Let me tell you, the one in 1973 is still the MOTHER of ice storms in ATL... The 2000 events were a mere infant compared to that beast.
Sweet! I’m prty much with you! Of course rt now I’m speaking from depravity.If my street doesn’t look like this afterwards, I’m not interested. Don’t nickel and dime me.View attachment 76081
