Peals of laughter echo through 1000 square feet.
Little feet pound across floors, shuddering through the house.
The sound of vehicles driving by is rare, but still happens.
Despite the sheet of ice covering our street.
Our trees.
Our yard.
We are safe. We have power (for now).
They say last night was not the worst. Tonight will be more.
Our trees have lost limbs.
Walking across our yard sounds like walking across a frozen lake.
It’s beautiful.
Dangerous.
I worry about my husband who went out in the ice to work because they wouldn’t close.
We will snuggle together against the cold. Hope that our power lines hold out.
We will make it through the silence.
I’d prefer the snow. Feet of snow is manageable.
Inches of ice is worrying.
I hope all in Indy stay safe. Warm. Keep their power.
Including us.
Definitely keeping my fingers crossed for you guys. Ice can certainly do a number on a household. Good luck!!
I hope your power stays on. I hope my power stays on. (our ice is expected tonight) I would rather have all three of the big snowstorms we had last winter than one night of ice.
