This is the worst I have seen here. Thousands out of power in rural central Missouri. I have been responding to fire/rescue/medical emergencies today. My pager is going every hour. One tragic death too gruesome to describe... related to falling tree limbs.

They've already called for a 2 hour school delay for tomorrow morning. If the ice doesn't melt very quickly, they will cancel.

Our church does not cancel but few went. We live a distance away (North) from the church and did not consider going. Many roads are closed including some state hiways.

Getting worse in Missouri. 800 in our small community are without power. Any sizable tree is butchered, and many have fallen on houses... several injuries.

 That's the worst part of ice storms, the damage and death and destruction and no power/heat and then more deaths.
I should find out how far north this went and check on my mom I'm starting to think....

Ok, I can't find what I'm looking for real quick and I have to run again. Do you know how far into Iowa this went? It looks like it may have stayed south of her (she's near the Minnesota/Iowa/South Dakota borders) and I won't be home until too late to call her tonight.

St. Louis wasn't hit this bad, so I bet she's okay.

I don't think Iowa got much of this and the system coming tonight is from here (central MO) and Southward.

Thanks! It seems the sytems either go south, or nail where she's at hard. Glad to hear this one went south.

Just drove home from work in sleet, ice pellets, freezing rain....I don't care what you call it, it's not fun.First you scrape all the ice off your windshield and than when you're cold and wet, you get in the hopefully warmed up car to drive home.
I have 9 miles, and it involves several hills, so I'm a basket case and drive about 10mph.
I was very happy to pull into my garage.
The forecast says it will continue all night and change to snow in the morning.
We're on the northern edge of the ice, north of us will just be snow.
