The Ice Storm Cometh…Again!

Kentucky’s governor has already called out the Kentucky National Guard, so I’m not sure what our next step should be.

Last week’s ice storm left many of us isolated, stranded without power, and basically damn cold. Yours truly managed to weather the storm without much fanfare. The lights flickered off and on a few times and power went out but then came back on a minute later. Many didn’t fare as well and are still without power.

And now, I understand the second wave is on its way, another blast of icy chill carrying with it a storm bringing more ice than snow. Just what we need.

We still have a few downed power lines in my neighborhood, and more than a few downed trees in the middle of the road, but even as I speak, road crews are out there, trying to clear the path for motorists and LG&E are doing their best to get to all the downed lines.

I feel almost warped saying this amid a weather-related crisis when so many are without heat and electricity, but the ice on the trees really is pretty. Like tiny sparkling diamonds suspended from the frozen branches.

Were-bear filmed a mini-movie of the glistening ice with his video camera, but try as I might I can’t get it loaded onto wordpress. I know it’s me and the usual trouble I run into when I try to do anything technical or computer related. ::sigh::

Maybe next time I’ll figure it out.

In the meanwhile, I am putting the time to good use, still working on the rewrites to Soul of the Sea, polishing chapter by chapter, keeping a steady pace.

I’d love to get this puppy done before my birthday. It’s my goal and my present to myself.

Speaking of which, I’d better get my butt back in story mode and sign off my blog post. Just didn’t want my readers and friends to think I’m sitting here goofing off. :P
