Winter storm hits north & west of Pontiac

Another winter storm hit the Ozarks yesterday, this one bringing lots of ice, up to 2 inches in some places. Luckily Pontiac hasn't seen a frozen drop of precipitation yet. Just rain. I wanted to let you out-of-towners know in case you're hearing about this on your local news this morning. Yep, 2 inches of ice could cause some major problems at the boat dock, but again, we've only seen rain so far. And hopefully, that's all we'll see.

The Springfield area wasn't so lucky. Apparently 60 to 70 percent of Springfield is waking up without power this morning. Trees are down everywhere. And some small towns outside Springfield are completely out of power. It has been declared a disaster by local officials.

Anyway, I hope it's warm and sunny where ever you are! Have a good weekend!
