I'm just going to pass along some information while I'm sure I can. We are in the midst of an ice storm, and I might not be able to post tomorrow (later today). I'm hoping that the worst of the ice will miss us one more time, but there is a layer of sleet on the ground, and freezing rain is falling, so I fear our long running lucky streak of avoiding the stuff may be at an end. School was dismissed early Monday, and the ice started shortly after all the kids were safely returned home—so they made that great call. They have also closed most of the area schools for Tuesday, again wisely—doubt anyone could make it any way. I'm pretty sure I won't make it to my appointment with the endocrinologist, too. That's disappointing, but I'll be warm and comfortable at home, and will set up another appointment.
We are prepared, for a power outage, as I've explained before. We're on a well, but have back up water. We have propane heat, so won't get cold, and we have battery lanterns, with back up batteries. Groceries won't be a problem.
I'm about ready to do my spa soak, and try bed. I've got a lantern by the bed, and will carry a flashlight with me to get me to the bedroom if necessary. The ice doesn't look thick enough to bring trees/limbs down, yet, but better safe than sorry.
If you don't hear for a few don't worry—"I'll be back". Huge hugs, around.

You are wise to be very prepared Katy. Last summer's power outage has me thinking what will happen if the ice gets bad. Take care and stay snuggly warm. Di
Good luck Katy and Mel. Hope you don't get the bad stuff. Hope to hear from you that it missed you again.
