    Default How did you all survive the ice storm

    Over here we had a few inches of snow some ice and a whole lot of slush. The trees still are covered in ice. We lost few trees but still have power which is better then some of our friends that are still without.

    Hopefully you all are OK.

    We weren't so lucky. We've been powerless since about midnight on Thursday night. We just got cable back a little while ago. We still have NO POWER! We are running off a generator. We have heat, water, and are able to cook, so we are ok. Our neighbors from down the street have been staying with us since Friday since they have no generator, which means no heat. The kids haven't been in school since Thursday. Hopefully they will be going tomorrow. The trucks are at the end of the street, which is almost a mile, but hopefully, that is a good sign. Keeping my fingers crossed!

    No, we were lucky in that sense. No damage. We started the generator on Friday afternoon, so we have the fridge, heat, water (we have a well) and can cook. We had a couple of small branches down in the yard and that was it.

    We lost cable about a half hour after we got it back. So we are back to no cable either. I'm at work. Haillie went to school today so that's good. So hopefully things will be getting back to normal soon. No idea when we will get power, not a big deal as long as it's before Christmas.

    Thankfully no ice storms in Denver! But the last few days it's been bitter cold!

    Shush you! LOL Snowing right now. Only about an inch out there right now. Hopefully it will turn to rain and go bye bye.

    So far no accumulation totals yet for Friday and Sunday. Maybe it will be a southern storm and we will luck out - doubt it but I can be hopeful.
