So we got this nice ice storm yesterday and we were doing pretty good until this morning. At 9:45am our power went out. It is now after 10:30pm and still no power. Worse yet, the word is it could be 7 - 10 days before they get it restored due to the 475,000 homes without power. All I can say is thank goodness for generators! We sectioned off the main living room from the rest of the house with plastic over the door to the kitchen (and thus the rest of the house) and powered the living room for the lights, tv, laptops and a space heater. The plastic is keeping the heat in the room - though the rest of the house is freezing! I think I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight for the sake of my appendages staying intact.
Our office closed today, but I'm sure we'll be back in business tomorrow. At least there I can get warm, assuming I can make it out of my driveway.
A branch of the maple tree in our front yard - this is pretty much what all of our surrounds look like, with an inch of snow on top:
Wow it would be nice to just get snow without the ice. Ice isn't that much fun to play in. Hope your get power real soon...
