Ice Storm 2009




Well, 2009 is off to a rough start so far. We just went through the worst Ice Storm Fayetteville has ever seen. We were without power for 6 days straight. The kids enjoyed not going to school but they soon realized it wasn't as fun being without the electricity to watch tv or play on the computer. We toughed it out a couple of the nights even with the temp getting down in the upper 40's in the house! We then packed up all our stuff and pets and checked in to a hotel for a few days to keep from freezing. The sounds of trees snapping and crashing down came every couple of seconds. At night the cloudy sky would light up with a blue tint as the power pole transformers blew up. It was a pretty spooky sight. We are settling back in as of Superbowl Sunday and were able to watch the game with the power coming back on that afternoon. Check out our pics on our photo album link to the right. Some have a blue tint because I didn't realize the mode the camera was in...
