Looks like some of the mountain communities will see catastrophic icing Wed. night into Thursday.  Meadows of Dan forecast looks rather hellish.

Generator will be ready, gas cans full. I was surprised we did not lose power Friday nite/Saturday morn. Old neighborhood. Overhead lines + lots of big shitty trees.

Yikes.  NC or VA?  Looks like my home state of Michigan.

We're supposed to get ice Wed night, Thursday, and again Friday morning. My appt for my 2nd Phizer vaccine is Fri. 9:30 a.m. -- 25 miles down highway 321 in Lenoir. Aaack. Hope this doesn't get screwy.

I had a similar situation for my first Moderna in Madison County.  Health Department opened up the schedule and said "get here when you can" - found out about it on their Facebook page.  Caldwell's is at https://www.facebook.com/CaldwellCountyHealthDepartmentNC.

Good luck.

We've been lucky here on this section of the Allegheny Front.

There must be several still w/o power to the east and south.  My son left Sunday morning around 4am for southside VA.  He's called with news of many lines down, down trees, and long hours – thinks he'll be there several more days replacing poles, lines, and such.

Stay safe folks – spring is near!

good on ya @Dougfish, sure is a shame that so much trash is just thrown out the windows. And all those tires in the Smith...

Tires should be sold with a deposit.... $10 per tire instead of having to pay a $5 per tire fee to recycle...

ex - I'm not going to live with you through one more fishing season!
me -There's a season?

a) peeps (meth heads included) would scour the river for tires..
b) meth heads would drown
c) tires would be stolen off of vehicles
d) nevermind...

Good job Doug and crew!!!

Used to refer to the Smith trout as junkyard browns.  Those old tires in the river do provide some wonderful refugia for the YOY browns, until they fill with the mica-laden sediments of the region.

Grand Canyon Protection Act passes House
The bill would permanently protect the region around the national park from new mining claims.


>>>The bill, introduced by Arizona Congressman Raúl Grijalva, permanently withdraws about 1 million acres of federal land around Grand Canyon National Park from mining claims, while leaving existing claims alone.

Grijalva said the measure would protect one of the nation's most beloved public lands and the Colorado River from possible contamination from uranium mining.

"We would risk a finite resource like the water in the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon itself, for a limited return given what's available in uranium," Grijalva said.

"I don't think there's anything wrong, nothing wrong, politically or against energy development or anything to say that this is a special place and that it needs to be protected in perpetuity. Period."
