Anybody else affected by the winter storm?

I awoke this morning to the sound of creaking and breaking tree branches in my neighborhood, one after the other, due to the heavy accumulation of ice from last night's storm.. Unfortunately, one of the trees in my backyard is a complete wreck, and it fell on my power lines, breaking them. I drove around the neighborhood a bit and the tree carnage is like nothing I've ever seen.

Also, in a span of 3 to 4 hours I saw probably 8 bright green flashes of power transformers popping. I probably will not have power for at least 3 days, probably more.

I woke up to about 10 inches in Indiana. Powers on, babys warm, and I have apples cooking on the stove. Yesterday we ventured out for a sled ride (her 1st!)

Merry Christmas!

Yes, I live on the northeast side of Indianapolis. The first storm missed us yesterday morning but we got socked last night. Getting the van out and going for my husband was a bitch. Luckily some of our nieghbors were out too and helped us. We live in a new housing development and the association still hasnt worked out a reliable snowplow service.

Rural Central Indiana is a mess! We have been it by both snow storms. Looks like around a foot of snow with blowing and drifting. Our power is still on thank heavens. Now awaiting the ten below temps that are coming....

We are snow bound for the next several days as the snow plow that usually keeps our road clean is broken (and we were planning to go christmas shopping tonight)...sigh....

Keep safe and warm fellow mid-westerners!

Melba - you are in Indiana? thought your legend said somewhere else - We are in Northern Indiana and we got a pretty good hit lst nite here - but some areas got it worse i know. We have about 6 or 7 inches of fresh stuff - but the sun has popped out now - nice really. But cold is coming tonight - I think about -10 or so. And dratts - I have to work outside in it!

Boy I like the smell of fresh apples cooking - save me the smell!!
