Ice

Thursday, on Thanksgiving, it rained all day. Then the cold came. Friday and Saturday saw ice accumulating all over this area of the state. As much as we got, I think they got it a little worse to our east.

Friday, the icing began. Except for Hubby running uptown to the grocery store for chili supplies, we stayed put. (See previous post for photos.)

Yesterday, our power was out. I woke up around 6:30 to our computer backup "beeping" because the power was off. As sleepy as I was, I tried to look at my clock radio alarm to see what time it was. I was met with darkness. "Ohhhh .... the power's out." So it was a quiet day. Did some reading by the front window, and one of our son's friends came over (he was bored!), and we all visited. Hubby fixed food on the camp stove, set up on top of our regular stove. Thankfully, we have gas heat.

Breakfast from the camp stove.

Calls to PSO gave ever later times for the expected return to power. Finally they were saying 8 p.m. The "Bedlam" game was to start at 7 p.m. (OU vs. OSU) Then suddenly a little after 4 p.m., the power came back on. Yay! THANK YOU TO THE LINEMEN AND CREWS who have to get out in this stuff to restore power and make roads safe! YOU ARE APPRECIATED.

Morning and evening views yesterday out our west window.

So today, with it still overcast and cold, but hopefully the ice storm shenanigans ending, this is how it looks here in our neck of the woods.
