Bad News: It snowed *a lot* today and down here in the Land of Cornbread and Dixie, we are not exactly equipped to handle lots of snow, even in the mountains.
Good News: At the last measurement, we had six inches of snow. I've never seen this much snow in my life!
Bad News: Snow on trees means trees on power lines. We lost power around noon.
Good News: We have a generator!
Bad News: Of course, the generator can't power the entire house. We don't have lights in half the house and the oven, washer/dryer and microwave don't work. We also don't have heat in the upstairs (where the bedrooms are), but that matters less since we're going to turn off the generator at midnight to save power. It's going to be cold tonight.
Good News: At least we have enough power to have a Star Wars marathon this evening. (Oh Han Solo, BE MINE!)
Bad News: While we still have some power, the nearby jail does not.
Good News: This might mean our power will be fixed in the next few days, instead of the current wait time, which is "indeterminate".
Bad News: The JAIL has NO power. I guess those people in orange jumpsuits aren't from the power company?
Good News: The weather is perfect for playing outside. It's not too cold and the snow is light and fluffy, which means we could stay outside for hours without getting frozen.
Bad News: A game of snow football gone awry resulted in my brother and I colliding and banging heads.
Good News: There were lots of cold things to press against the instant goose egg that appeared.
Bad News: My head still aches, bad enough that I can't chew and can only eat soup, and I'm not allowed to go to bed due to a possible concussion.
Good News: It looks like this outside:
The full set of photos are here, with more to come tomorrow once it stops snowing.
