Freezing rain, sleet, snow

This winter storm has had it all!  We had a longer stretch of freezing rain than originally predicted, and our power went out at 6AM.  Fortunately, it was only out for 1/2 hour, and we generally were able to sleep through it.  By the time we were up, it had just started to transition to the sleet.  We had about six hours of sleet, and then it turned over to heavy snow.  The winds picked up also, and it's pretty rough out there.  I had gone out while it was sleeting in order to make sure we could get into the cars.  It was only going to get colder and deeper.  I could get into three of the four vehicles, and we don't need to worry about getting into Thomas's car.

Catherine is here because she is supposed to work tonight and tomorrow.  I'm not sure we are going to be able to get here there, and I'm pretty sure we aren't going to be able to get her home. Her best friend lives right around the corner from her work, and I know they'll put her up if we get desperate.  Many restaurants are closed, and I'm surprised (and a little disappointed) that she still needs to go in.  It would be a perfect evening to just have a family game or movie tonight.  Schools are already closed for tomorrow!
