ICE STORM AND NO POWER

We expected some snow and ice, but not to this extent!

First, it started snowing Monday night 3-4inches. Then it started raining ice rain throughout the day on Tuesday, so there was a layer of ice on top of the snow.

We thought that was the extent of it, until W

ednesday morning we woke up with NO POWER.

It is estimated that 200,000 homes without power just in Louisville. The streets are horrible because there are tree limbs down EVERYWHERE. Then when we thought it was all over, it started to snow VERY HARD this morning.

SO, we have a layer of snow, ice, snow.

AND NO POWER with temperatures in the TEENS!

Thank goodness Mandi and Jeff have power, so we are camping out at their house for the week.

Officials have said it would be about 7-10 days before we get any power.

THANK GOODNESS some people have power, otherwise we would all FREEZE!

This picture doesn't do justice, but it looks like an ice rink

Our grass looks like little spikes of ice

Icy layer (even after we salted our walkway)

Wednesday morning, we woke up to THIS!
SO SAD!

Our one little tree could not hold its own.

There is a taxi submerged if you look close enough.
