Figures, just got the vehicles all deiced and cleaned off. We're thinking tarps on the windshields.

You know...a good ice storm would keep the "land sharks" away from the door...

Yep, lots of thunderstorms, localized heavy rain (5"-6" in a couple of hours in places), something like a tornado about 50 miles south of us (they're not sure if it was a tornado or just heavy "straight-line" winds). No ice expected until tonight or tomorrow, though.

So far so good, we're waiting for round two; folks to south of us got lots more weather than we did.

How are the TV horses?

We still have power...haven't lost it. Waiting for Round 2 of the three storms we're expecting...it's just to our southwest.

We just had one big branch break and hit the the corner of our house. Just now. In the tree with the fort.

I'm going out to assess for any damage. Steve is already checking it out.

I'll check in when I can...but for now we're good.
