The dreaded ICE storm. . .

has come. People have been talking about this for two days. It's been on everyone's minds and part of every conversation. I was out late last night trying to get a bit of shopping done and that's when it started. It really is like nothing I ever remember experiencing before. Literally, ice is falling from the sky. Not like hail, more like frozen raindrops (I know it sounds like the same thing, but it's not). When it hits the ground it just sticks solid and creates a sheet of ice. We awoke to 2 inches of solid ice in our driveway. The roads actually seem pretty clear. They do a good job of keeping them salted and plowed.
But the good news is---Christmas vacation has started early!!!!!! No school today was hoped for and received.
