Hey everyone, I was able to send out a few emails on Friday and I hope the word got through. As those of you know who have been watching the weather channel, Western Kentucky got hit very hard with snow and ice. We were out of power for 6 1/2 days. There are people around here in rural areas that will be down for WEEKS! No exaggeration. Weather channel broadcasted from Paducah, KY a lot because Jim Cantore came here and got stuck! We got over an inch of ice followed by 4+ inchs of snow. Fortunately for Hubby and I we have a gas fireplace and camping equipment. My work ended up being one of the city's official warming shelters, so hubby and I came over for several hours on Friday to get warm, see people and check email.
My biggest worry was the steaks I had in my extra freezer along with some other high dollar meats. Fortunately a friend got power back early enough and had freezer space so the ribeye's and cajun stuffed chicken made it through the storm. (I had two whole ribeyes that I had had sliced and vacuum sealed) Hubby and I ate a couple of them that we cooked over the camp stove as well as many things that had thawed.
I hope everyone else that was in the path of the storm is doing ok. We got power last night during the Super Bowl so I am really grateful for the power crews working 24/7.
I am going to try to get some pictures on my blog and I will post the link. I missed ALL of you this past week and am glad to be back on-line.
