Ice storms always intrigue me. They are so beautiful and, unlike a tornado or hurricane, their danger often underestimated. After stopping at the store to pick up some extra batteries and a DVD copy of "Happy Gilmore" (Dave's request), we made provisions for the night. We found the flashlight, got out the candles and lighters, and brought out the extra down comforter. We lost power from about 12:30 a.m. to 2:30 a.m., but have had fully functional electricity since.
Early this morning, Dave and I decided to go out and take some pictures of the storm. After some bargaining, deal-making, and threatening, we worked out who could post which pictures on their blog.
Some type of bush with red berries:
The only thing that can really keep a BBQ-Master like Dave away from the grill is having it iced shut:
And a balancing act, like when you drop something and miraculously it lands without spilling, breaking, or being generally ruined: 
* A "French Toast Day," for those who are unfamiliar with the term, is a day when a winter storm comes through town, so everybody rushes to the store for French Toast ingredients: milk, bread, and eggs.

How cool! Hey, HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR AS WELL!! For me lately it's been Won Ton Soup!
So what's it called when you get milk, bread, eggs and toilet paper?
I think tonight will be a FTD for Dallas... we're due to get ice any time.
Beautiful pictures...
We had a FTD today - the shelves in the stores were running empty - but that's what happens when one lives in Rural Gotham City!
That's the difference between the way a girl thinks and a guy:
A girl gets out candles, a flashlight, an extra comforter, etc.
A guy checks the fridge to see if there's enough beer for a couple days.
Stay warm, St Louis! Glad your heat is back. Beautiful pictures. Winter has not yet hit New England, and it has everyone freaked out. Hope you and yours are well.
this scares the crap out of me...
how do you do it???
