The first time my power went out was early this morning at 12:30am. It has been on and off every couple hours or so since then. But I am blessed, because it hasn't been off steady so my home hasn't grown too terribly cold before it kicks back on.
As soon as it came back on this last time I hurried and fixed an early dinner, did up the dishes, and now I am trying for the 3rd time today to post an entry!
The ice is so thick that it is snapping huge trees in half. Some of my trees and shrubs aren't looking too good for the wear either.
My office was closed again today! Third day in a row which is unheard of. The streets, roads and freeways are still thick with ice and commuting is difficult at best.
Portland International Airport has been closed for three days now.
I've been setting out fresh water every few hours for the animals that must weather this storm on their own in the elements.
I spread rock salt over my walkway this afternoon, but it hasn't melted much of the ice.
I have begun to develop cabin fever! I pray that this will be over soon so we can all get out and move about in our world again.
I hope that this finds all of you safe and warm.

You're absolutely scaring me....I have this crazy idea that I will be relocating to Ohio... but I dunno. First of all, shoveling snow, even dealing with it is like an additional task, how do people make time for it? And, secondly, cutting grass the other part of the year? I can't imagine it. I came to Cali from Arziona, but I was born and raised for 7 years in Minnesota....I should know better hunh? Race
Hang in there and keep warm. I don't think this weather pattern is the norm, so hopefully it will be a long time before another major event hits your area.
Cuddle, get some hot chocolate and hang on!
