Another Big Storm Could Affect 100 Million People

This is turning out to be quite a winter in many parts of the country, and this week could be a doozy:

A big ice storm has the potential to do far more damage than a snowstorm. Ice clings to stuff...until it gets too heavy and it falls down. Things like power lines, trees, etc. I was in an ice storm in Oklahoma back in 1987 and everything in town was coated with 1"+ of ice. It was beautiful, but incredibly dangerous.

You could hardly walk anywhere, the car broke loose at even the slowest speeds, and I almost wrecked my rental car when it started to slide across a sloped parking lot toward the restaurant where we were going to eat. Just missed hitting the building.

A couple days later we were slowing for a red light when a huge sheet of ice on the roof of the car broke loose and came crashing down onto the hood. I thought I'd been hit by a truck.

This could be a really tough week for millions of Americans.
