It's nice to know we made the national news with this mess

Ky. orders record Guard call-up to fight ice: 400,000 homes and businesses across the state are still without power

The ice was steadily falling from trees today as warmer temperatures started a thaw. Tomorrow could be in the 50s, which might help in terms of getting electricity and water restored but could mean flooding. I was fortunate to only be without power for a little over a day. Some people are looking at six weeks. I think it will take awhile to get a handle on the full scope of the storm. Some snow is forecast for early next week. One friend told me the wind was supposed to be an issue then for the Ohio Valley. It's supposed to get warmer later in the week, though.

I'm tired of winter weather even though it hasn't been that snowy this year. It has been pretty cold, with a few nice days. It sounds like tomorrow will be one of the latter. But I'm ready for spring.
