It hits the fan...

All right, y'all, this is serious. The National Weather Service has just issued an Ice Storm Warning for Cleveland County which replaces the freezing rain advisory. There are thunderstorms out right now that keep tracking over the same little area, and since it's right at the freezing mark, it's coming down as freezing rain.* We're supposed to get between 1/4 and 1/2 inch of ice through this morning, and more tonight (Sunday night) and tomorrow (Monday) morning. I'll let the bulletin speak for itself:

AN ICE STORM WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF ICE ACCUMULATIONS WILL MAKE TRAVEL DANGEROUS OR IMPOSSIBLE. TRAVEL IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. COMMERCE WILL LIKELY BE SEVERELY IMPACTED. IF YOU MUST TRAVEL... KEEP AN EXTRA FLASHLIGHT... FOOD... AND WATER IN YOUR VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. ICE ACCUMULATIONS AND WINDS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO SNAPPED POWER LINES AND FALLING TREE BRANCHES THAT ADD TO THE DANGER.

So, will finals be rescheduled? Tune in tomorrow - same time, same channel.

* It's a little more complicated than that; maybe later I'll explain it.
