The ice storm

We got about an inch of sleet/snow

Mom's bushes in the front of the house
The sidewalk

It is CHILLY outside

Mom swept the porch last night, and this was how much sleet/snow we got last night

Yesterday afternoon, about 3:00 p.m., it started to rain, freezing rain. Then it started to sleet, and now it hasn't stopped. It just keeps coming down. It has been sleeting and snowing all night long. We woke up, and there was about an inch of sleet/snow, and underneath that, there is a thin layer of ice. We haven't lost power yet and we are crossing our fingers that we won't. We dont think we will loose power because sleet doesn't stick to power lines like freezing rain does... We are out of school today! Springfield canceled last night at about 6:oo p.m. and when Springfield cancels, Willard cancels. We had a LOT of sleet last night, so we don't think we will have any school tomorrow.
