The power was off last night, as soon as I unglued myself from the road and weather reports (I report them to Adam via phone), I wandered upstairs to wash my face, ended up getting soap in my eyes, and tripping over another screaming monkey. Everything went black, hydro was out for a most of the night. Then the carbon monoxide detector went off, and I realized the power was back on.
80,000 people are without power still, my FIL said. In Blyth, we are lucky.
I took the girls out this morning and I saw the neatest thing, a whole tree shedding it's ice all at once. It reminded me of a dog shaking water off it's back, or a snake shedding a translucent skin.
It was good that we weren't under it, we probably would have lost an eye or two, but it was pretty neat.
The ice that is coming off my maple tree keeps hitting the windows. At least March has come in like a lion. |
