Ice, Ice, Baby

What else can I write about, but the ice storm. I even saw Louisville on Good Morning America. We got a couple inches of ice Jan 27 and boy did it do some damage. It coated the trees and brought down so many power lines. Our power here went off and on thru the night and finally went off at 5 am. Luckily, mine came back on at 5 pm that day. But some people are still without power around here. Louisville had like 180,000 people without power. What makes it so bad is the cold. It only got down to 65 in my house. I had closed the blinds and curtains to keep the heat in and put a big pot of water on the stove to boil all day just to put heat into the air. It worked. We still have ice on the ground now, it's just a sheet of ice in the yard because it'll heat up enough during the day to melt a little and freeze at night. But starting tomorrow we will be in the 50's and 60's. So we trade ice for mud. It looks like a tornado went through here though. There are just so many limbs down, it's amazing. And anyone with a fireplace could have as much firewood as they want from here. It's all piled up on every street. Here's a few of the pictures.
