JACkory's Listening Room

Sure enough the ice storm came. It's not going to be anything like the big one from last year. In fact, the weather folk say it will clear off by tomorrow afternoon and temperatures will be climbing steadily over the next few days. This is very good news. No power outages or huge tree limbs breaking off all over town. Just a light coat of ice and roads I wouldn't dare drive on. We prepared for the worst...went to Wal-Mart and stocked up on vittles and such...but I don't think it was necessary. Better safe than sorry, though, as the old saw goes. Schools are closed so Stacie and Bryan get to spend the day here with me (how lucky can you get?). They'll probably have to return tomorrow and I don't like that. The roads will get slick again overnight, and even if the weather does improve as the day goes on it's still gonna be treachorous getting where they need to go. I'm sure they'll be fine, though.

Took a few pictures earlier today and decided to post them here:
