Ice Storm....

So, this is a non-Adam update, but I wanted to share what is going on in the Bailey house hold today (and most likely for the next few days!). There was a pretty big ice storm that hit western Mass and southern NH last night and hundreds of thousands of people, including us and Grammy Jo & Pops, are out of power. You can read more about it here. Now, you may ask, how are you giving a blog update if you don't have any power? Well, I am at work right now (shhhh..I should be doing work instead of this) and I don't mind being at work because it is nice and warm and I have electricity at my fingertips.

The picture below is what the road looks like in front of our house (the house in the pics is actually our neighbors house), and that tree branch is dangling off of the power lines that feed in directly into our house.

Matt bought a generator this morning (the last one in the store) so we have our sump-pump attached to it so there is no flooding in our basement luckily. Unfortunately, Grammy Jo and Pops weren't as lucky and have had water starting to flood their basement. We also have a fire going in the fireplace to keep the house a roasting 56 degrees. Brrrr....

Hopefully we will get power sometime soon...if not...I really might have to camp out at work just to stay warm!!
