Major ice/snow storm in Kentucky the last couple of days. Most everything was shut down yesterday, but things are opening back up today. We are surviving and have been able to drive around without any problems. The major roads are fine, the back/side roads still have some ice on them.
Our biggest problem is that we lost power at 5:30am yesterday (I saw the transformer blow) and it is still out. Apparently there are over 180,000 outages from our power supplier. As of now, there is no timeline on the repair or as the automated man on the phone says, "the estimated time of restoration is not known at this time". Pretty frustrating as the only other estimate we heard was up to two weeks before all service is restored. I can't even get a customer service agent on the phone. Anyway, we cranked up the gas fireplace yesterday and last night and let it heat the house. We bundled the girls up in extra layers of clothes and played games in the dark. Looks like we may have a repeat performance tonight.
I previously didn't like our fireplace, but I am starting to like it now that it is keeping us warm! If the outage continues we will most likely head to Shelbyville.
The worse part of all of this - I can look out our living room window and see lights on inside a house 100 yards away. Oh yeah, and that we missed American Idol last night.
