I havent had the freezing rain yet. I'm suppost to go to work tomorrow, guess I'll wait and see what it's like in the morning. Keep warm and hopefully your power will be back on soon.

Hope your power comes on soon, we had an ice storm down here in Feb. years ago and were without power and water for 9 days with 2 teenagers in the house....LONGEST 9 days of my life.

I don't think too many people have lost power in town...mostly sporadic.

We drove to Meijer's for batteries and only saw a handful of houses without power....but i'm thinking with the lines getting heavier, and more trees snapping, that it will increase.

I'm sure the power company doesn't want to repair anything during this rainstorm....and for their safety I don't blame them.

If they don't come out til morning, that's fine.

We are getting that weather tonight. Hope we don't lose power again. I don't have backup for using my computer & it gets so boring when power goes out after dark.

That's always scary. We had rolling blackouts here. I had to make a "plan b" by getting a coleman stove so I could heat stuff up.

Hope your power comes back soon.

Has your power come back on? Never really got the freezing rain here, in Chelsea. I ended up with a snow day, because most of the customers cancelled. I'll make it up by working tomorrow. Guess I could clean house or sew. Looks like sewing beats cleaning.

Major ice issues - trees down - lines down - no power - no heat - power is scheduled to be restored by Thursday...

I'm thinking a hotel is a good idea at this point.

Hanging out at my mom's house this afternoon...they have power.

Hello...not sure I remember you...what group were we in before?

We are still without power...I'm staying at my sisters tonight because the temps have dropped down to 3 degrees with the windchill.
