Praying to keep our power!

Made it through the night.... very restless though. The ice storm came through & our electricity has been knocked off & on at least 20 times. How do I know - because our house alarm goes off every time it comes back on. But praising God each time it does come back on.... It was off for about 40 minutes this morning & I thought that was it - but it came back on again - hoping that was the final time.


I've heard so many people have lost their electricity since last night ... praying they stay warm.

The snow has come back - another 3-5 inches.

I have to go shovel a path way for my doggies - the doggie door is jammed with snow. And if the two little ones go out - the snow is taller than they are....

Here is a picture of the ice on the trees at about 3 in the morning... can you see how slick the ground looks? And those limbs should NOT be that low... trees are down everywhere around here!

Here is a picture from my front yard after the snow came back too. Notice our pine? The ice has it slammed down.

And here is another tree of ours that the ice has taken down....

  13. Oooh, I remember an ice storm like that when Chris & I still lived in Indiana. It was brutal! The weather out here in MA is pretty much just a bunch of slush or snow, no ice. I hope your power stays on!

  14. I hope you stayed warm, we some how did not lose power at all, had the occasional flicker but never went out. I was one scared chick during the ice storm, I ma used to hurricanes tearing up trees not hearing them crackle and fall from ice.
