Nasty Day Today

This is what the tree in my front yard looks like this morning! Covered by ice! Right now we have about 1/4" of ice out there on trees, vehicles and power lines. On the ground is about 1-2" of sleet/snow mix. However, they are forecasting up to 8" of snow to fall throughout today along with 30-35 mph winds. Yuck!

The kids are out of school today, which we figured they would be once we heard the forecast, and we figure if it does what they are saying it will that they will be out of school tomorrow too. I am just hoping that we don't lose power. It will get mighty cold in here if that happens.
