But at least we're going to break the freezing mark today and get close to 40, which should help with the ice a lot. I'm still hoping that our oak tree doesn't lose any branches, since the ice has weighed the branches down so much, they're touching the ground. But we're so lucky.........so many have lost huge branches or even entire trees from this storm. The weather guys are forecasting some snow Friday night and into Saturday but it won't amount to much........maybe an inch or two. Nothing like the Nor'easter you guys in the east are expecting. But I wouldn't mind plain snow - -- - - it's the ice that I have a problem with. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Happy Thursday. Even though Gerry's had 2 1/2 days off this week, it sure seems to be a long week. Maybe it's because we've been holding our breath, hoping the power would stay on. Late yesterday afternoon, we strung together several outdoor extension cords to reach clear across the street so our neighbors could plug in their freezer and then their sump pump, since those 2 + inches of rain/ice we got have drained down into the soil and caused the sump pumps to start running. Happily, their power came back on at 8:40 p.m. last night and has *stayed* on. But there's still 10,000+ in our county alone waiting for power. Now they're saying that it could be Christmas before some people get their lines repaired. Ouch!!!" on 5:40:26 am, Thu, 12/13/07

I wish I had my cat's llfe. Since it got cold, Cinnamon's been curled up on his heating pad on the loveseat here in the computer room and the other cats curl up together in the cat tree or they rumple up our comforter and sleep in heaps. What a wonderful life!!! And then Mom comes along with the vacuum and disturbs them - - how rude! Stay warm, everybody, and those of you who are getting our storm, stay safe and drive carefully.

Sounds peaceful and comfortable!!!
hey, you haven't said, how are you making out with Biscuit and the tree?? (NT) -- Kate, 9:59:10 am, Thu, 12/13/07
Ummmmm. the tree's not up yet. I'm beginning to wonder if Gerry's having second thoughts?? That kitten!! When he's in one of his crazed moods, he looks at me with those gold eyes, pink ears and white face and all I can think of is Damien!! Child of the Devil. And believe me, he most definitely IS!
