Ice Storm

We enjoyed a short trip to STL this weekend! We got to spend some time with McLaren's and Jason helped Chuck with their drop ceiling. It looks great so far and can't wait to see pictures when the carpet goes in.

While we were gone enjoying electricity, Iowa was hit with a huge storm. Here are some picts my mom took from their house. From what we have learned our lights were out for a little less than 24 hours. My parents have been out since Saturday afternoon and aren't expecting to get it back until at LEAST this weekend. We are also expecting another storm with possibilities of rain, snow, ice or ALL THREE! Jason is suppose to be heading to WI Thursday so let's pray it is just rain!

We had school on Monday - which most didn't. We have about 15 percent without power. My mom says that it will be awhile - she works for an electric company. Rachel and Mom are here tonight trying to stay warm. Dad is trying to hook up a generator to get some heat back in the house. It is between 40 and 50 in there right now with outside temps hoovering around 32 degrees. Time to head to bed!!!

Mrs. Willis,
Looks like you and your family had a lot of ice!!I wish the ice/snow will go away soon, because i cant play softball in this weather. :( (And to me, that is a crisis) Well have fun with the snow! Dont forget that Reily and I want to Baby-sit some time!
