Last night as we went to bed the forecast was AWESOME. We were so sure (except that Laura was unbelievably skeptical) that we'd wake up with 6+ inches of snow on the ground. Well......we got about two inches, and then the freezing rain started (about 9:00 AM). Now it's 11:30 PM and the freezing rain is still going. Here's a bit of general commentary about the whole situation:
I've chipped out the cars once today already. I'm not sure I'll do it again, because I'm not sure we're going ANYWHERE tomorrow.
The neighbor's tree (the one right next to our house) is falling piece by piece. So far the (our) house has escaped. Knock on wood. (A few more branches just fell as I worked on typing a couple of paragraphs down).
University of Kentucky, ever prudent and swift in their decision making, still has classes ON for tomorrow, even though the governor has declared a state of emergency for the whole area, and you can't really tell which part in front of our house is yard and which is street. Luckily, 2 of Laura's 3 teachers are thinking clearly and have called off class (come on #3, what's taking you so long?)
It's funny to watch the dogs splay their toes out like a cat in an effort to hang on to the deck.
I wonder if the basketball team will make it back to Lexington before they fall out of the rankings over the weekend for losing to Ole' Miss.
Yak Traks are totally worth it (see Laura's blog tomorrow morning)
I'm going sledding in the morning....no matter what. We don't own two saucer sleds for nothing.
We're out of Ale-8.
