LET IT SNOW

Today we had a half day because of snow. We also had a snow day on Fri., Mon., and we went home an hour early on thursday. On thursday, there was a huge ice storm. All thursday, night trees were falling (from the weight of snow and ice) and it was really loud. On Friday morning half the houses in our capital district were out of power. At around 7am my parents were up and my mom looked out the window for a second and just happened to see a tree branch fall on our main power wire. This had happened to us last winter and we lost all power, including heat. so needless to say my mom was worried that it was going to happen again.............but, it didn't. Instead, we lost internet, phone, and tv. (that's why i haven't updated my blog in so long) Almost all of our friends lost power and they were all freezing. One night we had a full house of people who lost power........aren't we nice? one of our friends that live one block behind us,lost power for 6 days. they weren't able to use their fire so their house was probaly the coldest. the girls slept over one night and ate dinner with us another night because they couldn't stand the cold. Now tonight they are having everyone over who helped them in their time of need. so that was my week. right now it is snowing really hard. we are expected to get 2-3 inches of snow every hour, and who knows how long it will last. i hope we don't loose power......wish us luck!
