Actually, the surface streets are just fine. Wet, but drivable. It's the bridges over creeks and stuff that people forget about. The state has taken care to shut down interstates and overpasses, places where people could get into big trouble, but those creek bridges seem to be causing people problems, too. Of course, not for us, because we actually know how to drive in this stuff.
Last night, our power went out (looking at the ice in these photos, you can probably guess why) at about 6:30, just as I was finishing cooking dinner. Monica and I waited it out until 9:30, then packed up the family and headed over to Maria and Gregg's. At about 11:00 we realized that our power was finally back on (we called and our phone rang, as opposed to going straight to voicemail) so we packed everyone back up and headed home.
We would have spent the night at Maria and Gregg's, but Rachel was having all kinds of problems going to sleep over there. I guess she's getting to the point where she recognizes when things are out of the ordinary.
Our power went out again around 7:30 this morning, but luckily, this time it was only our for about 90 minutes.
Enjoy the photos.
