This has been the most boring week of my whole life. While everyone was getting a lot of snow last weekend, in Lexington, KY we have been dealing with 1 1/2 inches of ice. It first started with 3 inches of rain which began Friday night and carried over into Saturday. Then the rain turned into ice that Saturday night/Sunday morning. It completely crippled us and left 65,000 without power. As of today there are still 25,000 people without power. Luckily I was one of the fortunate ones who had power the whole time, but both my work and my husband's still does not have power. It has been predicted that we may not get power restored until this coming Wednesday, Feb. 26. The electric company has just recently brought in other states to help with the cutting of the trees and wire repairs so hopefully that will change. It is hard to believe that ice, while beautiful to look at on the trees, can cause such devastation. I would have much preferred snow. In any case the ice has finally melted, but this weekend they are calling for 2-4 inches of rain, most of the state is already flooded, and more waves of snow storms to come in probably Sunday and not ending until Thursday. Hopefully they are just giving us a worst case scenario. Besides how often are meteorologists right anyway? Well, I have a lot of catching up to do on the forum. I hope everyone has a nice weekend.
I'm Finally Back!

I hear you! Here in DC, we are still dodging mountains of snow on the roads. Today, it's pouring down rain and flooding, to add insult to injury. Still, I think you have had it MUCH WORSE than we have because I'll take snow over ice any day.
Who else is sick and tired of this winter? This is the worst one in recent memory here in the mid-Atlantic.

My husband and I both did not have to work last week. I'm actually looking forward to returning to our normal schedule. The time home with my DH and our 8 month old son has been great but a little on the boring side. It is hard to plan fun projects to do if you don't know that you are going to be off. We had to play it a day at a time and see if we had to go in to work so I can't really say that it was a vacation.
I can't begin to tell you how tired I am of winter. I'm sure you second that especially since all that snow was just dumped on you. Will winter ever end? Last night we got about 2 inches of snow with another 1-3 inches expected tonight. Unlike a lot of people, I don't mind driving in the snow, but we have had about 25 inches of snow so far this year. I know this is nothing compared to all of the snow that hit the east coast or even what the northern states normally get, but for us here that is a lot of snow. Our state is ill prepared for snow. If we get 2-5 inches during the winter then that is about it. What can I say we are a bunch of babies around here? I'm glad that everyone else is handling the snow situation really well though.
