Wow!! We survived the ice and snow storm of 2011! lol Nathaniel will have his third day off in a row, for school, tomorrow. We got a ton of ice here. It was unreal to stand on the porch and just watch it come down and freeze immediately. You could stand there and just listen to all the branches and large limbs cracking and falling to the ground around the neighborhood. Our own tree, in the backyard, lost several smaller limbs. The duplex on the corner lost a huge limb from their tree. The ice just weighed everything down! And before I could get out there to take pictures, the weather "warmed up" enough that we just had regular rain and it melted away all of the ice from the power lines and trees! It's still very icy on the snow though!
We were lucky to not lose power, but 44,000 others in our county weren't as lucky...my inlaws are ones that lost power Tuesday night around 9pm. As of this afternoon, they still didn't have power so they were packing up and heading to my SIL's house to stay. MIL has work in the morning and SIL's place is close to MIL's work. So they're there, nice & warm now.
I was hoping to take the kids out to play in the snow tomorrow. It depends on how icy it still is. I don't want anyone falling & getting hurt.
I hope all of my friends out there, who were hit by this storm are safe and warm!
