Good Morning Y'all!
Right now we wish we were in south texas, warm light and without an inch of ice covering everything! The NE is being hit with a freezing rain/ice storm as I am typing this. We are up (all of us) at 4:30 this morning because when the power went out it set off all of our smoke detectors and they would not go off (we learned of this fault last time the power went off but I hadn't gotten around to fixing it yet). Anyway, at four this morning we were all running around pulling fire detectors off of ceilings (the vaulted ceiling in my room was the funnest to get off).
We don't know how much damage has been done yet but I have been listening to tree limbs falling all night and you can vaguely make out the shape of a tree that is down in our front yard. We are lucky, we have a good 40 feet on all sides of our house before you hit the tree line. So it is very unlikely that our house would be hit by a tree. That can not be said for most houses in the area. I was actually surprised we didn't loose power much earlier then we did.
Here when the power goes off, everything goes out. The wells quit working and we loose our water, which means no flushing toilets!
Several years ago before the first time we moved up to NH there was a huge ice storm (which they compare this too) and most power outages lasted up to a week. I hope not because I only have 2 hours left of battery life on my laptop.
Anyway. We are ok. We will be staying put for the time being in the house and not venturing out until all of the ice is cleared from the roads.
Side note: Ken's father's surgery (triple bi-pass) was delayed until this morning, since it is in Indiana it should still happen today.
Until we are able to communicate again....NH OUT.

Oh gads Jen! Remember yesterday when I said "everything that can go wrong does!" in reference to your luck. Now you've caused a major ice storm as well? I'll call you soon. Hopefully you have a working cell phone.
Hey Jen,
Hang in there. Did the kids get school off? My kids would love that.
I hope all goes well with Ken's dad.
Take it easy.
