The Ice Storm Cometh...

So here I sit, checking the NOAA weather website for updates regarding our ice storm warning. Along about rush hour tonight, it's supposed to start precipitating frozen stuff...and could continue until about 1am Wednesday morning. The potential for fallen power lines and trees is pretty high, which is a major concern if you live in someplace known as "The City of Trees" and you have lots of tall trees around your house and yard that could do some big-time damage to your home if they fell on it. Do we sleep in the basement tonight, just to be on the safe side? I think The Husband would say that's over-reacting; I think the doggies would say that's a GREAT idea! (Can you imagine us trying to sleep on an Aerobed, with 3 40-pound dogs trying to share it with us??)

The really good news is that yesterday we rearranged the stuff in the garage (and moved a little to the basement) and managed to park the car inside the garage--for the first time! In light of tonight and tomorrow's forecast, this is a beautiful thing (as Lynn Baird would say).

Along about now I'm really missing the fireplace we had in our house in St. Louis...

Y'all pack your longjohns and come visit!
