Update on Ice Storm

Most stores are empty of cold food such as meat, diary, and frozen foods.  As we emerged from our homes to get food, we were shocked to realize the stores had lost their food as well.  I did find one store with cold food, but I passed on buying.  Why would that store have cold food and not the others. 

People are dying from car accidents but also carbon monoxice from generators.  

The trees are blocking roads.  Icicles are huge and dangerous.  Over six million people are without electricity.  School are still closed.  Traffic lights are not working.

I went outside yesterday, and knocked the ice off my trees and chopped off the icicles over the doorways.  

Today, we have snow flurries and a little drizzle that will freeze in the morning.  Friday, we start again but it will be 2-6 inches of snow.  No end in sight.  

I've lived here in Oklahoma for 30 years and never have seen anything like this.  Snow in December is something we prayed for with little or no hope.  Okay, thanks but no thanks.  

If you're worried about my dog, Rhett, we added bedding.  We put a crib mattress in his room and put his teddy bear rug on top of it.  He has his own room in our house.  It's decorated in teddy bears.  : }  I figured with all the doom and gloom, we could use a smile.
