Remember the horrible ice storm last year that shut off everyone's electricity for weeks? Well, the weather folks have warned that we may be having a similar event starting today and lasting through Tuesday. It has been mostly raining so far where I live with some ice accumulation that happened last night. It hasn't been anything to write home about just yet. People are VERY nervous about this because of what happened last year.
I don't think it's going to be as bad as last year, with the electricity going off for weeks. Here's why:
1) Most tree limbs are not anywhere near the power lines. This is because, frankly, most of them snapped off during last year's storm. Those that remained were trimmed back after the storm.
2) I am prepared. Things *never* happen when you're prepared. I have tons of extra batteries, flashlights with fresh batteries, and a lantern that operates from being hand-cranked. I also have a full tank of gas, food, and I live in town.
We shall see!

That was THIS year, Little T. This year that we went through the big Ice Storm. ;-) I'm really hoping it won't be bad either. So far it seems to be missing us. I'm as ready as I can get, except mentally! ha..... Hang in there.
Love Auntie T. (and be careful!!!!)
Yes, I'm hoping it passes us by. I still haven't had our chimney inspected and bought emergency firewood. We were lucky last year and our electricity was only off for a day.
