Ice Storm 2004!
Our power's out (I'm at work for a few hours) and Jeff's at home, trying to keep Spike warm. We're probably going to have to go to his parents' house if we don't get power back by this afternoon.
The a branch from the big oak in our back yard is already partially cracked and on our phone line and our neighbor's power line. Not much we can do about it, though. We're just going to have to hope it breaks off the right way and falls toward the tree rather than straight down.
Another neighbor's tree is blocking all but one lane of the 4-lane road we live on. The weight of the ice just bore it down the hill and onto the street. Luckily, but buses still managed to run around it and I actually got to work on time. And since we're under a snow emergency, the buses are free. Bonus!
Update: Here's a photo:
Five minues later, the firefighters arrived to chop it down. They worked fast...
We packed up the pets and spent the afternoon at the in-laws where Kaylee peed on the rug the moment she got in the door. Such a charmer. I don't think my father-in-law was at all pleased. They all behaved themselves after that. Spike was very, very good.
I came home to check on the house at 4:00 and the neighbor said the power had come on an hour before. We decided to risk coming home, even though the power may go off again.
