My daughter said they didn't have church this morning in St. Louis because of the ice. Unreal the weather can be so difference just a few hundred miles away!

We only had about a quarter of an inch last night, and already we've had two branches fall off our pine tree, and another evergreen tree next to the house is split down the middle!
The roads weren't actually terrible, but we're supposed to get more ice tonight, and since it rained all afternoon, I have a feeling it'll be pretty slick by tomorrow morning. Jeff brought in extra firewood in case the electricity goes off.
To which I say: YUCK!! Ice, ice, GO AWAY.

My backyard is trashed. Many more limbs have fallen since I took these pics. Several state highways are closed due to fallen trees blocking.

Stephen, did you folks cancel church today?
We had ice here today too. We had my family Christmas party scheduled. About 90 people. We went ahead with it, but some couldn't make it because of the weather. Not too many, but a few. Most are brave souls (or stupid).
They've already called for a 2 hour school delay for tomorrow morning. If the ice doesn't melt very quickly, they will cancel.

I'm in St. Louis for the weekend. It is not near as bad as it is going toward Springfield.
