Same here in southern Indiana. Not much snow, but a good coating of ice. 
It's a challenge to stand up in the driveway. I grew up in Wisconsin, so 
the cold doesn't bother me, but I'd rather have snow than ice. Fortunately, 
we didn't get as much as predicted this time, so we still have power. It is 
supposed to get down to 2F tonight though.

Normally I just fire up the tractor and plow everything out, but ya can't 
plow ice. My back deck, road and driveway are basically a big ice chunk 
now. I'll have to wait until it thaws out I guess.

Good luck to all with the nasty weather on both sides.

How wonderful opera would be if there were no singers.
