We're "battening down the hatches" here, too.
We'll be fine, but it will be a huge pain to get the livestock chores done in an ice storm. It's so beautiful here today (50's!) that it's hard to imagine ice and cold in just two days. Sigh...
Were you affected by the ice storm this past January? Our grid power was down 10 days, and our baby was 3 weeks old. Hopefully, this storm will be nothing like that one.
Be safe and warm!

We may also get hit on Saturday with an Ice Storm.
I do not mind snow or rain, but I really dislike ice. Ice storms are just too destructive.

I've been keeping my eye on it. My family is all in Omaha or just inside of Washington county near Bennington. Sounds like its going to be pretty icy! Stay in and stay safe.
