> It is terrifying!! And, impossible to get around and do things :-(
You bet. Heck, I couldn't even walk up the driveway incline without holding onto the stone wall. It got a little difficult as I got further and further up the hill, since the wall got shorter and shorter. :)
> We have had a number of ice storms where I live, but one really major one a few years ago that affected 3 provinces.
Yikes, that sounds like a bad one.
> I was out walking (or trying to walk) my dog, and we just barely got past a tree that had electrical wires hanging from it and it came down and just barely missed us. All I heard was zapping and cracking. It freaked me out.
It would freak me, too. I'm glad you were able to avoid it.

> I'm sorry to hear about the woman who got killed :-( That is very sad. I hope the weather conditions start to improve soon. We have been lucky here so far this year and have not had to contend with freezing rain and ice this winter. I hope it stays that way for the rest of the winter.Thanks. I hope so too about your weather. That darned ground hog...this sure doesn't feel like an early spring.
