It's weird how the ice storm came up from Texas and crossed over us, heading to Illinois. It met with artic cold air right over us in MO...we had the worst ice storm of anybody. Actually, southern MO got the very worst of it, losing power for days (Iberia is still without power) and trees down everywhere. We have about three inches of ice everywhere. We had more snow yesterday. The roads are fairly clear now, but schools didn't start back until today. The school buses are still running only on snow routes. Our road just got plowed this morning. Thank goodness for 4-wheel drive!! So, we're fine...just really tired of snow and ice. BTW the news reported that people aren't cleaning the ice off their cars, and then when they get on the road the ice is blowing off the cars into the windshields of other cars. The ice acts like bullets. We saw a car get hit today. Very scarey!
