  • All Systems Go

    As of 11:47am EST we still have power despite about a half inch of more of ice coating trees and power lines.

    My husband got called out at 2am to go plow slush. I was very worried about him going out on the roads. I didn't get to sleep until after 5am because I was so worried. I am very happy to say that he was fine and made it home safe and sound. He said the roads were still very bad and that the interstate on ramps were blocked by police so no one could get on.

    Last night we spent time playing board games, computer games and games on the Wii. There was imaginary play, tv viewing and the occasional peak outside the window to see how much ice we had.

    I kept my toes warm with my mismatched slipper socks.

    And of course I knitted because nothing goes together better than an ice storm and knitting.

     

    I ventured out this morning to take some pictures but quickly realized that that was an ER visit waiting to happen. So I zoomed in from my spot, prayed I didn't fall and took two shots.

    By 6pm tonight the wintry mix is supposed to start up again and this time wind will accompany it. Prayers that the power stays on are appreciated. I think I am going to bake cookies and make some crock pot sloppy joes while we still have power.

    Have a fantastic day!
