Boy, do we have ice!!! It's been raining fairly hard since last night at about 6:30 p.m. and it just keeps raining. Gerry's office called off work last night and of course, all of the schools are closed but they didn't bother to close state offices until this morning at 6 a.m., even though the governor issued a state of emergency last night. I thought I might get to sleep in but Ken called at 5:26 this morning, cold and miserable. His power had been off most of the night. So I got up, made coffee and he and Jackie came over for about two hours. Then they tried calling their house and when the answering machine kicked in, they knew their power was back. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Denise 's message, "So Sandy, did you get the ice? At 1 a.m. it was raining here, still raining at 7 then turned to snow. It's 29 degrees but gloomy. Actually a pretty snow. Had enough rain though that all schools closed. Just wondering about you." on 7:02:16 am, Tue, 12/11/07

We still have to check and see if there will be pool tonight. The road's are just mostly wet with some slick spots but the trees and power lines are suffering, big time! Our oak tree has branches that are now touching the ground and our neighbor's tree, that is several years older than ours and also bigger, is going to lose some branches. What I'm afraid of, though, is wind, since that will take the icy branches down into the lines. And the trees are starting to sway a bit. We've had a couple of power blips but no outage and I can only pray that it stays that way. Sure, we have a gas water heater and a gas furnace but without electricity to run the thermostat, we'd have no heat. Right now, I want nothing more than to crawl back into bed and get a nap. (Sarcastically) Did I mention that Ken called at 5:26 this morning..........???!!! (NT) -- Sandy, 7:14:49 am, Tue, 12/11/07
It's 45 here this morning, and I'm freezing! I don't dare turn the heater on tho, as I already have a major headache, and the heater always gives me one anyway. I'm just bundling up.... I hope you keep your power, Sandy. I can't imagine THAT kind of cold without heat!!!
Our alarm goes off at 4 here... but I stayed in bed as I am not working today. I snuggled with puppers under the covers till around 7. :) (NT) -- V~, 7:54:18 am, Tue, 12/11/07
Now, correct me if I'm wrong...did Ken call you at 5:26 this morning??? **evil grin**
hope everything is still ok at your house (and Ken's) this evening.....did you have pool tonight?? (NT) -- Kate, 7:54:03 pm, Tue, 12/11/07
