I was heading for work this morning and it was icy on the highway. I slid one time and got off at the next exit and came home. It's just not worth it. We've had snow, sleet, ice, rain, sleet again and now snow.

Horrible! The farm is the mess! I feel so sorry for our cows! Me and my fiance came back yesterday to KS to take our finals, and it's worse here. We didn't have electricity until middle of night, lost all our refrigerator stuff. Then the electricity went back off until about 10. It's freezing! It's only a matter of time before we lose it again.

But. It could be worse the huge tree in our front yard fell. Thank gosh I moved my car!!!!!!! It's just a solid sheet of ice everywhere! I hope you all stay safe. I'm sure our finals will be cancelled again tomorrow! I'm attaching pictures of outside my door. It's nuts!

Great Pictures!!!!
We are here in Nebraska and so far we have power and are lucky.
here is a picture I took today.

Oh man, Ive been hearing it on the news! I feel sooo bad for all of you out there in the midwest. Last year we had an ice storm and all the underground transformers were blowing up also! I never seen anything like that in all my 30 years so I had NO idea what it was. I thought something was wrong with my eyes that I was seeing flashes of light (couldn't hear it cuz I was inside) until I got to work and told someone and they told me what it was! HAHA

Here in New England when it snows 2 ft we all still go to work! Never a dull moment or a day off! HAHA

Stay warm and safe EVERYONE!!!

It's looking better today where we are... our kids are in the only school district in or near OKC that are back in school today I think...
My room mate's neice had a little baby girl on Monday and goes home from the hospital today.... BUT, she lives in Lawton and they have no power... and may not have, for another week or so!!
She's going to stay here in OKC with her Grandmother, but I feel awful for her having to go back to a house that's had no power in over a week, with a brand new baby!!! Ugh, can you imagine the YUCK in the fridge??? <<wrinklin' nose>>
Hopefully, she'll let us go over and get things cleaned up before she goes home with the baby.... but she's SO worried about "putting everyone out"... bless her little heart!
Good news is.... little Elizabeth Anne is a beautiful 6 lb 9 oz ANGEL in PERFECT HEALTH!!!

My friends parents have no power and moved in with on of their sons and his sister is living in a hotel with her hubby, 3 kids and dog. Oh man it looks bad.

Stay warm and safe folks.
