Hey all, for those who haven't heard, there was an ice storm in NY state, at the very least. Power was out all day yesterday, and most of today. My car hood got dented by a fallen tree branch, windshield smashed, and a branch took out my home's electrical lines. Had to sleep at a neighbor's house, who had a generator, and I'm now at a Holiday Inn with only a few hours of internet access. All in all, my family and I are okay, just without power for a while. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up not to expect me for a while.

The news about it finally reached Denmark this morning (About 7+ hours ago now). Sounds like it isn' just new york that's hit, and that it has happened a dozen times before, eh?

Good luck on getting everything restored to the daily!

Thanks everyone. It looks like I'll be stuck here at Holiday Inn, with only 6 hours a day of internet access...I'll try to keep in touch.

6hours/day seems like plenty to me? ^^Some could disagree, but i digress what's an ice storm?Is it when rain turns into big pieces of ice?

It's when you have a storm where ice flies around. Eg. if you're having supercooled rain + strong winds or just snow falling + ice lying around and frozen trees falling into your cars because of the winds.

Could be rain that turns into ice when it hits the ground or wherever it lands (freezing rain), or it could be small pellets of ice falling rather than rain or snow (sleet).

Big pieces of ice would be a hail storm.

Okay...you guys won't believe this. The hotel lost power just after I Posted! Luckly, this is the one all the workers are staying at, so they got power back about an hour ago, so everything's okay now. My house has power, so tomorrow we'll be moving back, but we won't have cable or telephone and thus no internet...and I'm not brave enough to go on this site in public so it may be a day or two till I'm seen again here. That's my report, everyone in the area seems to be recovering, so all is well here.

This sucks, this completely and utterly sucks. The cable guy won't be here till next week, leaving my house without tv and internet until possibly next Friday!!! I'm sitting in the library, wishing I was wearing right now cause I'm scared shitless someone will look over my shoulder any second now, and I'm bouncing off the walls with nothing to do!!! Writting can only last me so long! T_T I-I think I'm going mad!!! (Tears off screaming into the ever cold night)


Don't know when I'll be on again.

Chain reaction or were they all separate?

Hey all! I'll be getting cable and internet within the next week, so I should be able to last that long with some of my sanity left. I managed to come up with a good idea for one of my stories and post a chapter here for my True love one, so everything seems to be working out at the moment. Oh, and before I forget, Merry X-mas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
