What a storm! It started late Saturday afternoon, and it was somewhat amusing watching the pedestrians fall and slide on the sidewalk from the windows. By the time I left work, it had started snowing, which made the going much easier for me. It was a pretty exciting evening, weather-wise. The sky was almost blue from the light reflecting off the clouds and the ice. I desperately wanted to take a picture of my neighbor's tree, which was bent nearly half over from the weight of the ice, but all that would show up on my camera was the sleet, and it was upright again by Sunday morning. The weather was so bad, they canceled church. I was flabbergasted! I've never, ever, in my whole life heard of church being canceled.

There are tree branches down all over, probably a few trees, as well. Not too much damage around my house, though the shoveling was a real chore. It was soooo heavy! It was basically shoveling slush, and I could only get a relative little bit on my shovel at a time. As it was, my legs got a great workout from the squatting and lifting. A lot people lost power, too, though I didn't. Some people still don't have power. I just got a day off, got my house cleaned and a bunch of TV watched. I'm still two weeks, behind, though.
