Old Man Winter says boo!!!

Our annual ice storm has started. I can hear the rain, freezing rain, and sleet hitting the house right now. I left work a little early (15 min-wow!) to beat the storm home, and about one mile from the house is a pretty good size hill--I could see cars with their flashers on sitting on both shoulders of the road. I turned and took an alternate route home. I guess one or more cars went into the ditch. All the first responders, police, and an ambulance were on the way when I pulled into the drive. Boy, was I glad to be home. Driving on ice really makes me nervous. It's suppose to get worse through the night and all day tomorrow. They are predicting that we will lose power at some point. We are preparing as best we can--we are total electric! They have already cancelled Doyle's shift for tomorrow, so if he thinks we can make it and we have power he will take me to work, that's a relief. On the bright side--this should all be over by Friday. LOL
