Currently it is -3 degrees Fahrenheit in North Manchester, Indiana. Pretty darn cold by Indiana standards. We are celebrating this evening because we finally have electricity to our house after 3 days of not having it.
Friday morning we woke up to an ice covered world. We had electricity when we got out of bed around 5:45 AM but by 8:00 AM ice and strong winds had knocked lines down, and we were in the dark. The photos we are posting tonight were taken that morning before the power went out. We braved falling ice and branches to go outside to check on our chickens, and turkeys, and take a couple of pictures. We were drove back inside quickly by a fierce shifting wind, and THUNDER! As the next band of freezing rain came through we were treated to a very rare lightening and thunderstorm in December, followed by another set of flashes from transformers shorting out in Liberty Mills.
All in all, we are very lucky, and the only damage we have to deal with so far is fallen tree branches. We are looking forward to warmer temperature later in the week to melt the ice skating rink that is our yard.
