|  Our ice storm We are in the NW corner of MO and got hit pretty major with that ice storm. We haven't had electricity since 6:30 am. Tues. morning. We got a generator plugged in last night, so now I can have a tv on and my computer.  We freeze the deep freeze overnight so nothing thaws in there. We don't have running water because the pump in the well works off electricity. But, we do have a wood stove so we're toasty warm and can cook pretty much anything just fine. Here's a few pictures of what our battle zone looked like. Today, we got an additional 6 - 7 in. of snow on top of all this!

| Those trees aren't actually above him, but behind him. Needless to say, we haven't let the kids out with all this. It's much too dangerous. Steven and my dh went out and basically bulldozed the yard with the tractor to get all the major stuff out of the yard. I've only ventured out a couple of times because of all the ice falling. Now the snow is weighing it down and causing more problems. People that don't have generators and other heat sources are pretty much SOL. Some people haven't lost power at all through this and others have been like us and out for 5 days. Dh's parents have a house in town, but they go to Arizona for the winter. So he's gone in there and checked on everything for them. So far, they've done pretty good. They have power back on in there this evening. Atleast we can go take showers now!! If we don't have power in the morning, we're going to go in and shower. Plus, I have mounds and mounds of laundry to do. We're running pretty scarce on clean underwear! lol So I plan to take in a few loads of laundry as well!
