Ice Storm

Last week I experienced my first ice storm.  (I don't even know if that's the right term.)   I'm starting to question if I really did move to the south.  There has just been too much frozen precipitation lately to be the south.

Wednesday morning I was reading in the living room listening to all the branches snap off the trees and fall.  I timed it at one point and at least one branch was falling every two minutes.  I was just sitting there waiting for one to fall on the house.  Thankfully we didn't have any damage to the house.

We did lose power for a little over 24 hours. When we did have power, we had friends over who didn't have power at their places.  The city didn't shut down quite as completely as the storm a couple weeks before even though I thought this storm was worse because of all the power outages.

We've had so many days off from school that for the month of March school will start 15 minutes early and get out 15 minutes late to make up the time.  It's better than losing spring break.
