Hi E., I live in W. Central Illinois and we had an ice storm early Sun. morning! My friends say it looks like a war zone. The ice stuck on trees, as well as on the roads. There are fallen tree branches, big ones, and some downed powerlines. We had no power for 8 hhoours today. There is freezing rain in the forecast, so I am charging up my Braille Lite for reading. Can't validate with it.

We are having freezing rain now and there is more of some type of freezing rain or snow tomorrow depending on the temperature. All will be well unless we get a lot of ice which plays havoc with electric power lines. So I charged up my braillenote and hope for the best. Is anyone else following "tin man" on Sci Fi TV? It is a fantasy set in OZ but not quite what you remember from the thirties. E.
