Second try. We did lose power but it came right back...hopefully to stay!
Up-to-the-minute weather photos:
1. Iced house...

Poor birch tree, all bent over from the weight of the ice...
I was up until nearly 4am this morning, an afternoon nap yesterday keeping me wide awake last night when I should have been sleeping. But the happy result of my sleeplessness was the finishing of the "Thin Blue Line" knitted cap for policeman Joe, probably one of my quickest projects, and a nice break from the ongoing and forever "Blueberry" scarf!

A bientôt!
