Yet Another State of Emergency....

Just wanted to update you all on our situation here in Southern IN.
Matthew's school has been closed for the past two days...and probably tomorrow too. My work has also been canceled due to the roads being bad. Sadly, I don't get paid for snow days!

Tuesday...we had a nice, powdery snow (maybe 3 inches?). Matthew & I shoveled the driveway & took the cats out to see the snow. We even made it to the grocery. My husband is a very good driver in the snow :)
Tuesday night...our area was hit with an ice storm. We woke this morning to our river birch branches and broken all over the front yard. There is a branch on the roof too. We are thankful though, no damage was done to the house and the tree will most likely be able to survive. It just might look funny. We shall see when all this melts. My parents have lost power in their neighborhood. Lots of people around here have lost power.... but so far, we have ours.
The weather reports are not looking good for the rest of the week. Snow is now falling atop the 1/2 inch of ice coating trees & power lines. The temperatures won't be above freezing for at least a few more days.

So...yeah. We are thankful to be safe at home, still with power. We are also lucky not to have a tree sticking out of the top of our house! We are doing fine. Just wanted to let you all know.

Those of you living in Chicago, Colorado, etc...probably have seen 1000xs this mess. Unfortunately, our area is a big sissy about winter...and we don't do so well! One thing for sure, Louisvillians can NOT drive in the snow.

The plan for today is to get some paperwork/grading done, bake bread, clean-up in the yard, if we can, and just stay in-doors.
I'll post some pictures later :)

Peace.
