No pictures because I can't get it together and for some reason, every one I take just looks like blinding white!
Anyway, I lost power last night at 10:30. We.never.lose.power.ever.... I'm not sure what happened. It sounded like a transformer blew as we have no outside lines. Around 4:00 a.m. I heard the lights and smoke detectors flickering a few times. Again, that same "POW" sound. I think they were trying to fix it but it didn't work. Around 6:30, everything finally came on quickly. My house was 59 degrees and it is taking forever to warm up.
Then, I hear that our local ice rink collapsed. There were skaters inside as the beams starting twisting but everyone got out.
This storm is definitely worse than the last even though the accumulations are about the same for me--23 inches. It is much heavier snow and it is now very icy.
