We're supposed to get severe icy weather overnight. It started to rain about 6:30 this evening and it's turning everything into ice. The next wave is supposed to hit about 3AM, continue through noon tomorrow and they have predicted severe damage from the storm. They're expecting 3/4 of an inch of ice on everything.
The last bad ice storm that hit us was 2003 and we lost power for 5 days. We only had about 1/2 inch that storm. And we were on the lucky side - some people were out of power for weeks.
So if you don't see me for a while, I'll be stoking up the fireplace and trying to keep everyone warm. I hope we have enough propane for the grill (we're all electric). The only redeeming thing about being out of power from ice is that you can turn your fridge an ice box by putting large pots of ice into it.
*brrrrrrrrr*
