Icepocolypse 2011

I know, I know. I am sure those of you in the Indianapolis area are so sick of hearing about this ice storm, but I thought that there could be some readers out of state that would be interested in what is going on, as well as the riveting perspective of the Drlich family. Also, I think this could be good documentation for posterity's sake.

Currently, we have gotten .62 inches of ice. I think that it is supposed to get worse this afternoon and overnight. Words like "crippling ice" have been thrown around as well as the terms "Thundersnow." What the heck is Thundersnow!?

Jake's school has been cancelled, and I am able to work from home so we are all warmy toasty and tucked into our house. Currently it is nap time in the Drlich house, so things are calm and serene. However, I know things will not be "serene" for long, so that is why I added alcoholic beverages to the "survival supply list" right after diapers and before water. Priorities.

Here are some very amateur photos I have taken. My favorite is of Ozzie on the ice. It's like a doggie optical illusion. If only his chihuahua kin could see him now ...









More updates to follow, as long as we have power ...
