Miracles of miracles! We still have electricity this morning. And I have a coon cat lap-warmer as well! It looks pretty awful out the window and most of the schools and government offices are shut down. I suppose I should go out and salt the steps and walks but there really isn't a whole lot I can do with half an inch of ice everywhere, and more sleet coming down. We're supposed to have four more hours and then the temperature will drop and freeze everything harder.

We have been getting flickering of lights so I'm gonna post this while I can.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
