Again...*sigh*

Emily, we had ice that year in Virginia, too! We hardly ever get large amounts of snow, but because - I suppose - we're near the coast - we get lots of ice. Power was out for thousands of folks (my daughter and family included) for three weeks!

Oh wow, here I was getting all grumpy over having no power for three days!! So sorry to hear what you went through!

ps... has anyone noticed that the days are really getting longer?? I looked out yesterday afternoon and it was 5:15 and still very much light... not too long ago it was very dark by 5 p.m.

Yes!! I've definitely noticed that. I usually leave work between 5:15 and 5:30, and where before Christmas it was pitch dark at that time, it's now downright bright if the day is not seriously overcast. Spring is coming, huh??? (Though you wouldn't know it by today! And another "wintry mix" forecast for Sunday!!!)
