Ice Ice Baby
Well, I think the ice storm is officially over. It’s like a Winter Wonderland here…minus the wonder. We lost power last night at 9pm, but thankfully it came back on about 11pm. There are still a lot of people out here by us that haven’t gotten power back, and some may not get it back until later tonight or tomorrow from the sound of it. And it’s stinkin’ cold!
Reminds me of Christmas a couple years ago. The ice was crazy out in Adams County, and there was no power at either of our parents’ houses. We actually had Christmas Eve dinner at Giovanni’s Pizza in West Union because it was one of the only places with power. Down here in Cincy, we had mostly snow, but it was pure ice out there. It was nuts.
Anyway, I think a couple of our big trees out back lost some large branches, but nothing came down, and we didn’t have any branches down on our power line, which is great. I sure am glad we trimmed those trees back in the summer! Thanks Dad!
It’s back to the office now after working from home for a day and a half. Thank goodness I can do that, or I’d be way behind by now.
