I have about a half inch of radial ice at the moment. The ropes for almost 
all of my wire antennas have snapped, and the Yagi's all look like noodles. 
It smells like Pinesol disinfectant outside from all the broken pine trees.

I'm not sure what is going to happen here. It is still raining and still at 
31F here.

We were predicted to be in the worse spot, but it looks like the worse ice 
spot in Georgia has moved to along the I-20 corridor out to Augusta.  I 
expect antennas in southern SC won't do so well.
