70 one day,... Ice Storm of 2006 the next

So, um, there was this ice storm... that dipped the world in diamond and then cut it up with one the wierd thing was that after a day, i started to think this was just how the world looks here you can see how heavy the ice was, and then how i thought i looked after four days w/o a shower or power -- i call this my Kenny the Unabomber look the power went out at 9pm on Ths, and we got BUSY next morning with fires, but the wood had to thaw first, warming the house meant hauling in 15 loads of wood, thanks the Ps for the passive solar house, or it would have been 23 loads, one every 25 minutes and clearing the debris, yes that's Hemingway with a shotgun knocking a limb loose and then we cooked and cooked and you know, it was, all in all, Fun, though Fleur and I hauled what we think is a factual ton of wood out of our yard (don't worry, we used tractors). So here's some Pretty courtesy of that Gorgeous Right Jab Mother Nature keeps in reserve.

Blessings to the families who didn't all make it through, and to those who are still waiting for some heat. Be careful. Put the generator OUTSIDE, please.


That sounds like a very heavy caliber rifle going off. That sound repeated for hours and hours.
