The east coast is getting quite the storm.. heavy wet snow has caused a lot of damage where Valentines live. I called Wendy earlier this afternoon and she related that they are at her inlaws because they got up today with a power outage and it is snowing. She said it's very heavy wet snow- they are predicting 8+ inches of it. Mid morning they decided to move down the road a piece to Cory's folk's place where they had heat at least. On the way they saw many trees down and hanging on electric wires. At one point they got stuck and had to wait for someone to cut up a tree so they could get past that spot. They were able to have lunch with Cory's folks till the power went out there too. So....... they are all cozy bundled up and trying to make the best of a bad situation.We are not getting the disaster that they are experiencing. Our power has gone off momentarily at least 3 times today, but has come back on immediately. I wonder what the rest of the day will bring. It's raining/snowing .. I guess it's sleet? At times it is a sheer white out, but nothing is sticking to the ground- it's 37 degrees.
Lake Blair is filling up, but it's been doing that for the past week.. and then quickly drains off.
The wind is blowing very hard. We can hear it whistling and howling outside. Roads are not bad.. just wet.
Pray the storm leaves quickly and no further damage will be done.
