I only drove around 20mph and coming down 52 hill was a little slippery. What really makes me mad is how bad the side roads are.. they really need to concentrate on those. Also, i have been reading all the blogs where so many people seem mad cause we're not having a lot of snow.. I bet these will be the same ones complaining when we do get a lot of snow!! I for one would be more than happy for it to be 70 degrees and sunny for christmas!! All im saying is that theres a lot more to worry about other than if we have snow for christmas.. theres plenty of folks out there who rather have a hot meal, and money to buy presents for christmas. I work at a nursing home and these folks would just rather be at their own home with their families regardless of a white christmas or not. Anyway time to get of my soap box now.. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holidayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997582511588511868.post-1662813430720743292008-12-23T22:21:00.000-05:002008-12-23T22:21:00.000-05:00I'M just seeing rain and what Ice is still out the...I'M just seeing rain and what Ice is still out there is lose!

Tis the season apparently, as EVERY website I check daily has had several negative comments the last couple of weeks. Sites that are always postive have been hit constantly with angry unfamiliar posters. I don't know if it is cabin fever, the economy, or normal Christmas wear down, but alot of people are very unhappy right now unfortunately. This site is a good resource, and I appreciate reading everyone's reports of conditions in their area. Very icy and slick in Loganland as well, but I didn't see any accidents while out last minute shopping, just folks unable to coax their vehicles out of one spot. Parking lots were worst, as we had to help drivers out of their spots by way of good old backwork. Be safe out there if you have to venture out.

(WLFI) - An accident on I-65 involving a semi and a couple of cars this afternoon slowed traffic, but the road is now open. <BR/>And State Police said one lane of State road 43 near county road 800 north was closed briefly after a collision. <BR/>Police were also called to an accident on I-74 that turned out to have no serious injuries. <BR/>Clinton County police checked an accident on state road 28 near state road 29 with no serious injuries reported. <BR/>Police have also had reports of a number of slide-offs and rollovers, with no one hurt. <BR/>Tippecanoe County Highway Supervisor Jack Fisher said all the roads are bad. "People need to stay away from the intersections the best they can and let off the accelerator and not drive into them because they are slick because you can not stop on a dime," Fisher said. "The bridge overpasses, there's air on top of the bridge there's air underneath the deck, it makes the concrete very cold and those ice over. And they are right now but we have treated most of them so we should be in good shape."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997582511588511868.post-36979700518529387692008-12-23T19:19:00.000-05:002008-12-23T19:19:00.000-05:00My neighbors are outside sliding on sleds down Har...My neighbors are outside sliding on sleds down Hartford St. if that tells ya how slick it is outside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997582511588511868.post-82132002195116843822008-12-23T18:42:00.000-05:002008-12-23T18:42:00.000-05:00Anyone know why traffic has been completely stoppe...Anyone know why traffic has been completely stopped for an hour or so on southbound I-65 just north of W.

Did you know DANI is having several memorial services in the state on Jan 8th (I think) to mark the one-year anniversary of the flood? One is here in town at FCC (combined service with UMC and I am sure others) that day/evening. I think that is so important! It is a date not many who lived through it will forget.<BR/><BR/>Mike, thanks for the timeline here and the 5:00 show. Bad thing about that heavier ice accum in northern Jasper County is State Rd #14 is exactly the area that has had a lot of power outages. <BR/><BR/>More later,<BR/><BR/>MA in REMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997582511588511868.post-25003811733579406812008-12-23T17:29:00.000-05:002008-12-23T17:29:00.000-05:00To Anonymous:Anonymous said...
