Hello all--
Well, we're coming to you live from beautiful Louisville, Kentucky, where several inches of snow and ice have rendered most of the city snowbound. This is Snow Day 3 for me--no school, no work. Since Thursday is last day of my school/work week, I'm officially weekending. :-) In addition to being snowbound, my apartment is without electricity. Now, let me make a note that this is the second time in the past six months that my apartment has been without electricity thanks to an "act of God". A windstorm in September left me without power for a week. Now they're saying 7-10 days to restore power after this most recent ice storm. Dammit. Thankfully, I have a caring man in my life who offered me and my three cats a place to crash. So me, JD, my 3 cats, and his 2 cats are all playing house for a few days. It's been a hoot. JD and I have had a lot of firsts in the past 24 hours....who knew an ice storm would bring us closer together?

Is anyone else snowed in? What are you doing to pass the time? Do you have power? I'm trying my best to stay quiet during the day while JD sleeps (he works nights), so I've been watching a lot of The Learning Channel and other quiet television. Today I'm going to attempt to get back to my apartment to check on the electricity situation (NOT hopeful) and get some more clothes. Wish me luck...

My city can't handle snow very well. Of course, it doesn't help that we have 100,000 people or so without power, including a lot of schools. So the city is pretty much on lockdown...there are also a lot of semi-rural areas in the county, making effective road treatment a lttle easier said the done. For those of you facing inclement weather, how well are your respective cities handling it? Kentucky has declared a state of emergency and is requesting federal help....

So, let me know...how are y'all handling the winter? Anyone else snowbound?

Kisses,
Saby
