An Icy Forecast

No pretty pictures to post tonight...just the news that St. Louis metro is under an Ice Storm Warning from this afternoon until Sunday night. Three different low pressure areas are to pass by south of us, sending moisture up and over the arctic air mass that is settling in from the north. We have been getting freezing rain, rain, freezing rain, fog, freezing rain since about nightfall. There is a possibility of up to an inch of ice in some of these parts when all is said and done on Sunday night. Ugh. Widespread power outages are anticipated. I'll post updates as I am able.

We know this storm has already pounded Oklahoma, affecting Judi's cousins Mike and Debi there, and some other friends and relatives as well. It has also affected other family in Kansas and friends in southwest and central Missouri. We pray for everyone's safety and warmth, including our neighbor Barb, who is traveling in some of the affected area and expected home on Sunday. Take care, all.
