We are experiencing a blizzard in Dublin, Ohio, and it is still snowing. Some reports say we are under 18" of snow, with drifts up to three feet. This brings to mind a horrible ice storm that struck us in North Carolina in 2002. There was a 1/4 to a 1/2-inch of ice on everything in sight. The ice caused trees to fall on power lines. This caused some 1.5 million homes to lose power, some for up to ten days.
I lived in Carrboro, eight miles away from mom, and I went and saw her afterward. She was cold and angry because she had to sit in the dark, but she was otherwise okay, except for the tree that blocked her driveway!
We all made it through that storm, more or less unscathed. I wish she was here for this one, too. We have power and warmth. All we need is her company, really.
