Freezing rain/ice storm coating trees and power lines, with predictable result.

Power's been out for over two hours (went out about2100 EST, likely out till sometime tomorrow) - lines down across the driveway, and trees and branches falling all over the place. To judge by tone noises. One tree came down in tone yard, apparently, and there's a big limb that stretches across the driveway, right over where we park the cars that iI've been worrying about for a while that looks iffy with the ice, so we've moved the cars.

Supposed to be ice and black ice on the roads, but we can't get out to check.

Posting from my new phone, which has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, or there'd be a lot more errors.

Was out taking some pictures - since i don't have a decent tripod, it was all flash and manual-focus-by-guess-and-by-god, but I think I got some. Heard several trees come down, at least one across the road. Saw green flashes over the hill that i assume were a transformer giving it up or more power lines coming down.

If we get power back before Wednesday it'll likely be a miracle. And until Georgia Power show up to get their wires off our driveway, we won't be going anywhere.

0745: No power. Took a bunch of pictures - when i have power (and internet, which is not necessarily the same thing) I'll post some.

It's pretty - pretty cold.

Two trees down - that I can see - across the street.

Power's been on for a few hours, but Charter has no idea when we get internet.

Tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, i'm sure.
