Well, our snow quickly changed into sleet and freezing rain.
The drive home last night was treacherous to say the least. I hear rain hitting my window now as I type this. At least I hope it is rain! :-\

At least you made it safe and sound. Is this your day off, David?

Nope. Yesterday was actually my Monday. Today I go in for 12:30 for an 8 hour training day.
The interstate highway was salted really well. So were the main roads. But as soon as I turned onto a sidestreet near my neighborhood I hit unsalted road and spun across the street. Thankgoodness nobody was coming the other way! :P

UH OH! :o
As I was sitting here typing, I heard and saw big chucks of ice falling past my window. "What the F?" I thought...
CRASH!
A huge limb from the tree in front of my house came crashing down and landed feet from my window. ICE!
The freezing rain has glazed over everything! So I grabbed my coat and saw and went out from to cut it up.
CRASH! An entire tree came down behind my house! On the property behind me thankgoodness.
I hate ice storms!
So I just came inside and turned on the news. Sure enough, many schools are closed due to power failures. 25,000 people out and the number is climbing by the thousands per hour they report.
And the real kicker? The weather man just issued a high winds advisory for the rest of the day and tonight. Part of the storm heading up to Leslie.
High winds and ice on the trees. A bad combination. :P
