Winter some more

For those of us who havn't been out, there is freezing rain all
over everything in NY state. I
havn't been out of doors, but I did look out. Freeze is coating
all the
branches, vehicles, etc. The step outside my door is slick with
thick ice. I
threw out some salt, going out later to chip the ice off, if I
can. Powe winked
out about 10 AM, for only an instant. Long enough to reboot my
computer. I doubt
I will go any where today. More rain over night, changing to
snow. Lucky me, I
have enough food and water stored in the house, and a couple
backup heat
sources.
