it is a mess here ~ ice ~ sleet ~ freezing rain ~ all piled on top of each other ~ everything shut down until about noon or so today ~ should get a warming spell ~ up to 40 so maybe some will melt ~ then it will refreeze tonight as black ice ~ I would rather have had a southern snow storm then a southern ice storm ~ it is to get colder as the week goes on with a low of 8 on Thursday ~ my son is sick and staying home from work today and my daughter is working from home ~ power is out to over 113,000 people in 2 different counties in the upstate of SC ~ praise the Lord I have power.
