Friday, March 7, 2014 - School called 5:20am, no school today! Back to sleep...we woke up a little after 8am, big flakes of snow were coming down! Still snowing big flakes at 9am. Nathan went out to explore and go sledding with our neighbor, his friend Dylan. We only got a little bit of ice on the trees and then after a few hours it was melted. We did get over 4 inches of snow on the ground. After talking with my mom on the phone realized that she was not looking at a white winter scene at her house 33 miles south of here, she was looking at ice covering everything. I was seeing on the news and on Facebook about lots of trees falling and power outages across a few counties. Well, mom and dad lost power about 8am today. They were running a generator and had the refrigerator and one heater on it. Grandma had also lost power a few houses down. During the course of the day over 400,000 people were without power.
After lunch I started shoveling the driveway....so if Chad's plane did get in, and he made it on the roads and down through our neighborhood he would be able to pull his car in the driveway. 4:30pm my mom, dad and grandma arrived to spend the night with us...we did not loose power. Chad had to take a different flight instead of flying through Detroit he went through Atlanta & made it home about 8pm. I was thankful that he made it home at all today.
So many people are without power, even our old neighborhood 14 miles from here. So thankful my family could drive on the roads and come stay with us for heat.
