Well it snowed all last night so here in central Missouri we have an inch of ice covered by an inch or two of snow.

Right now its a toasty 4 degrees, -11 with windchill.

We dodged the bullet in St. Louis - got ice Friday night, then it melted Saturday and Sunday. The power outages started about 5 miles west of us and got way, way worse the farther west you go.

Well, Day 2 of no power. We had to break down and buy an indoor kerosene heater yesterday. After turning it off overnight, it was a balmy 51 inside this morning.

No power Thats no fun.

Now there is like a half inch of snow on the ground here in Rochester Hills...

Which was better than yesterday when I woke up at my family's second house north of grand rapids and found about 7 inches of snow... and my car buried and no roads plowed cuz it's dirt roads!

It's getting worse here. Yesterday only our street was out, now the entire block is plus the school across the street.

Weird. We haven't gone without power for even a second in my area of Rochester Hills.
