Well...as you can see from the pictures below, we got hit by the ice storm that went through central Illinois. All the local schools had a snow day, including mine. Today was supposed to be the second day of finals, so now the students have to take them on the Tuesday after we come back from break. Not a good situation, but I guess that's mother nature for ya. Jason stayed home from work today too, but he's still working. We've heard that the roads aren't terrible, but we're not going to chance going anywhere. It's a good day to curl up on the couch in a blanket with sweatpants on. :)
I love the trees when they're ice covered. They look so beautiful. We only had one casualty in our backyard. The limb broke sometime during the night presumably from the weight of the ice. Everything is starting to melt as the temperature approaches the above freezing level. Let's just hope it doesn't re-freeze tonight.

I was at an ERFAE meeting the day after our first 'ice' day of the season. They are still talking about our 'rain' day back in like 2000. Good times. :)
