The good news is: the ice is melting! Slowly, but surely it is warming just enough to begin the melt down. God knows how long it is going to take though. I'm not exaggerating when I say that we have 1/2 inch of solid ice over 8 inches of powder.
The office is open today, but it doesn't matter because there is no way I would be able to make it in - unfortunately! I would love to be able to go to work today - anything to get out of the house! Many of the folks live fairly close so it won't be too bad perhaps for them to make it in. On the other hand, I have 40 mile commute roundtrip, and since I live in a rural area many of the roads have not been cleared - like mine! So it makes for an impossible situation.
Yesterday, standing outside I could hear loud cracking sounds and then huge crashes as branches from trees snapped and fell to the ground from the weight of the relentless ice.
Today, I am just thankful that we still have electricity and are warm! It's 5:45 and I am going to get back into bed for another hour or so.
Until later..........

ice storm-20004, and mud slides as well, in California, where my children and grandchildren live. One of my grandchildren and her family had to be rescued from their house, due to a massive mud slide. Right before that some family members were evacutated from their homes due to the fires in Calif. Thank GOD all of you are doing alright. Bless you. Barbpinion
