Winter weather

Hi everyone! We've been under ice for three days now, and most of the businesses are closed. I took a few pictures and posted them to the gallery, would love to see some more from anyone else buried under the ice and snow.

Hey Trishben, we had a good deal of rain even up until late last night. It changed over for us to sleet then snow around 5:30 this morning. Never got above 31 today, that was probably in the middle of the night. Our daytime high never got out of the 20's so the little bit of snow we got is still on the ground and the trees. We had no ice storm thank goodness. Here are four pics I took this morning. Everytime we do get snow I take pics as we get very little snow. However, they are showing a chance of more wintry type weather Sunday night and into Monday.

Well we've been officially declared a disaster area. Our house is fine, we are blessed with heat, water and power, but most of my friends and coworkers are not so lucky. One friend has been without power since Monday, and now carries a chainsaw and generator around in his truck everywhere he goes- and he lives less than 2 miles from the WalMart general office, not out in the country.

I was riding with someone yesterday and a huge chunk of ice fell from a power line/power pole onto the hood of the car, less than a foot from our heads. Scared the pee out of us, and perforated the hood all the way across. Power lines are down everywhere, trees going through roofs, and a large gas station around the corner from my house had the overhang/awning covering thing come crashing down on cars and people pumping. I love the mangers optimism in this story- the pumps are sideways and they are NOT open.

You can see more of my pictures from the storm here.
