Ice storm!

Hello and welcome back. Im sure Lots of you have heard about the crazy Ice storm we had up here in the North East. They say at the peak 320,000 people ( myself included) were with out power by Friday morning. As of today, they claim 96,000 are STILL with out power. I was luck to be able to flip on the coffee maker as soon as late Friday Morning.
An account of my experience.
I knew when I got home last night we were in for it. As I turned on my Christmas lights, I noticed a slight buildup of ice on the bulbs and wires. It was misting, and the temp was dropping. I rubbed my hands together and imagined waking up to a world of crystallized ice trees. I checked my camera battery, poured a glass of water, when all of the sudden, snap! The power went out. Left in darkness, I lit a candle and headed for bed. Throughout the night I was awakened many times to the sound of snapping branches. Finally a weak, dreary, morning glow revealed the power of a little mist and cold temperatures....alas, my world of ice was before me begging to get its picture taken. I was happy.


Thankfully MY white Toyota did not meet the same fate as my neighbors.
