Ice Storm!

This winter has not been typical at all for our area.  It snowed on Christmas day, the first time in my life that I've ever seen snow on the 25th. 

Then yesterday, we had an ice storm.  Earlier in the week, the forecast showed 7 inches of snow, but the storm shifted a bit, and some warmer air caused us to only receive ice.  Areas north of use got a lot of snow. 

Eric and I are both home from work today because the roads and interstates are impassable.  My office didn't officially close until about 9:00 this morning.

Luckily our power stayed on through the storm, but we woke up to no heat!  The gas wasn't working. Amazingly though, we called it in and someone just showed up and is replacing the regulator.  We also have an abundance of space heaters so we haven't frozen.

I went outside a short while ago to take some pictures.  Keep in mind this is all ice, we barely had any snow fall.

The view from our front porch:





Ice all over the road.
