Thursday is the day the weather took a turn for the worst. Conditions were downright scary. It stopped raining, but everything froze and trees got too heavy. Mom and dad spent a couple hours outside cleaning up tree branches that had fallen in the road. Our driveway was a sheet of ice. We, eventually, went out for a short walk to the park, but the sound of crashing tree limbs was unnerving and it was very, very cold out. To make matters worse, it started snowing again. Dad tried to go to work, but one of the main roads out of our neighborhood was closed and the other is very steep and there were accidents along it and the power was out. There were power outages all around us. We had power, but no internet or phone service.

| yup, that's a package from USPS at our door. Mom had to yell at the postman as he was about to walk up our driveway. No, Mr. Postman, you will not kill yourself on our driveway. |
