Ice storm - Day 4

It's 5:40 a.m. And I'm sitting in the parking lot at Lowe's waiting for them to open at 7 a.m. They presumably received a shipment of 120 generators overnight and I'm third or fourth in line to fork over $800 to have electricity.
We learned of the shipment from our neighbors last night so I got up at 5 a.m.
The local tv weather girl, simulcasting over a radio station, said the temperature should get to 40 today, but a fast-moving clipper system may "booger" our chances for a major thaw today.
Yeah. That's how they talk on tv here.
