The Ice Storm Goeth

And it took our internet, cable, and phone with it.  The cold bastard.

We watched the sky lighting up all around us this morning as power transformers gave up the ghost.  An unnatural green color pulsing for an instant in every direction.  The tapping of ice and rain on the windows.  And the house lights flickering with each green burst.  Thankfully the power remained on.

Hopefully when I get home from work the interwebs will be back, and the lights will still be working.

It's the little things.

Have a very, Very safe drive home.....and stay warm! Sorry about your phone and internet. Hopefully none of your beautiful trees have been damaged.

Thanks : )
I was knocking a lot of the wet snow from earlier in the week off of the shrubs. They were flat like a giant beached octopus.

Then the ice came...

Internet/phone/cable restored.
So many tree limbs down.
More so than when Hurricane Sandy came through.
Crazy.
Tons of people still without power.

When those transformers begin to explode, it sounds like Frankenstein is coming to life.

Wishing ALL of you the best, obviously this latest round is no joke. Supposed to get more over this way on Saturday. Fun, fun. Stay warm, dry, safe.

I'm glad you guys are doing okay, pop cultural semi-isolation notwithstanding.

Get any pics?

Rot said...

Shamefully, no.
I SHOULD have taken pics...

I'm lame.
