So Indy INGOers, how bad are the roads? Since my train was canceled, I'm taking a bus that arrives in Indy at 4:50.

 

[SEIndSAM]

No travel restrictions here, but there is nobody out. Just went out and got my Diet Pepsi and made a deposit in the bank. -8 according to the thermometer in my car.

First car I have ever had with a heated steering wheel, sooooo nice in this weather.

How ya gonna get from Indy to TH??

 

[Suprtek]

Our power is still going out for a few seconds every 10 or 15 minutes. Aggravating but could be a lot worse.

My father is picking me up.

Recent reports say main roads are clear but still slick. They are reporting secondary roads about 70% cleared. I haven't been out to see it though.

umm 69 is closed in spots, or was last I heard. City streets are covered in ice, very passable though according to the mayor..keep seeing pics of 465 and it also looks passable but icy.

I'm in that 30% not cleared yet. So I am still relying on the news

My power was flickering a bit last night. I've got a backup benny with an auto transfer switch, so it's no big deal to me. I do have a foot of snow on my hot tub right now. I should probably shovel it off so it doesn't wreck the cover.

I've seen cat prints in the snow around my house, I'm wondering where it is and how it's doing. I think it's a cat I had that ran off. I've got a small shelter with a blanket and food in it, but it hasn't moved in yet.

Work was cancelled for day shift, which is going to hurt my bank account to the tune of about $350. I guess it's a good day to throw another coat of paint up in the bathroom.

All the vehicles started. One door was frozen closed on the house. So far all is well.

 

[SEIndSAM]

I didn't have any problems starting the car, but when I went to the Bank my window is frozen shut.

we had 21 runs from 7am yesterday until 1 am this morning. We shoveled the approach and parking lot 3 times. Lots of power lines down kind of runs. no accidents though. We had a few fire runs that were not much to speak of. Man am I tired. It took me 45 minutes to warm up and clean off the car so I could drive home this morning. 4 wheel drive set, the roads are not too bad.
Now, where's my bed?

 

[Suprtek]

Now the power seems to be flickering every few minutes. Starting to get worrisome.

My daughters apartment complex in Fishers has not had power since around 7 last night.

Mine too.

 

[churchmouse]

Our power has been good since early AM.
Need more

More wood on the fire.....

She's OK, right? At least in an apartment, frozen pipes etc. are repaired by someone else. If I lost power for any length of time I'd have to use temporary means to at least keep the house from freezing. I was thinking about that all night while I was watching the power go on and off.

 

[Suprtek]

Mine too.

Was yours out for a good while a few hours ago like mine?

 

[churchmouse]

Being all weather campers we have several propane fired catalytic heaters. 1 will do and average sized bedroom and keep it above 50 degrees in severe weather. The 2 with fans will cover a living room and keep it livable.
