lol… almost every year that I lived in Rochester, NY there would be at least one ice storm…. yeah, it coats everything. It would down trees and power lines out there. One happened when we were thankfully gone for break, but they invited all the workers and their families to come and stay in the student union building, since the campus had it's own backup generators and everyone else was without power - and it was bitterly, bitterly cold.

We did not get as hammered up here in WA as you guys did. In my neighborhood we got about 2 inches of snow last night, which is rapidly dwindling to nothing as we speak. Probably the most convenient kind of snow possible… fell on Saturday evening and won't be around on Monday. Just enough time to take some pretty pictures, for the kiddies to get out their sleds and for snowmen to be built, but didn't really affect much else.
