Indiana weather report

Got up this morning and made coffee and muffins.  Waited around for the university to close.  (The university never closes.)  So, I went to work.  It was like a tomb, so I got a lot of work done.  The city closed down at noon unless you were essential.  As Doug is a lab tech in water quality, he was considered non-essential.  Because of that, I was able to come home to a warm house with a fire burning.

 My car-clearing technique includes heat running full-blast and the rear window defrost on.  I sat there revving my car in an effort to speed up the process.

In all fairness, maybe a quarter of an inch of ice.

 It took me a couple of stops before I got the hang of it.  My ABS was going crazy.

ice every where

 After that, I was overly-cautious and arrived safe and sound without mishap.  Then I wandered about taking some photos of the frozen tundra.

  I've been kind of bummed lately.  If you've been bummed, too, raise your hand.  I was going to stop at the grocery (again) today and had "flowers" on my list.  Doug stopped for a few things this afternoon and he told me "I have a surprise for you."  I hoped it was flowers and it was.  I love flowers.

On the table when I got home.  Good boy!

We had spagetti for supper and the lights were flickering.  It was "hurry, hurry, hurry get supper done" and "hurry, hurry, hurry down-load photos" and "hurry, hurry, hurry to post!"  We have a fireplace and can cook, sleep, stay near for warmth- but I hope we get to keep our lights on. 
So many states are affected by this storm system.  Wherever you are, give me a shout-out.  I hope you are warm and safe and dry.  This has been your Indiana weather report.  Over and out.
