Hunkering Down

This picture was taken a few years ago, but this is pretty much what everything looks like outside right now.  There are little icicles hanging off of everything -- trees, power lines, fences -- and the streets and sidewalks are covered with ice as well.  This is phase one of the major storm that has been forecast.  We have already received the phone call informing us that school is canceled tomorrow.  Next we're in for sleet, then snow, then more ice.  It takes a lot to shut down the University.  We've only seen that happen once in the 10 years we've lived here, but this storm just might do it.  We'll see!
