Yep, it was a day of thaw before the storm. Roads and sidewalks were mostly clear. About 3 inches of snow on the ground then and shrinking fast. The snow then ice storm hit later that night, so there is about another three inches of dense solid ice over everyting now. Got power back a few hours ago. I also got to see a tranformer blow. It was on the other side of a hill, but until I found out it was a tranformer, I was thinking UFOs. Never seen multicolored lightning before. Too bad it wasn't real lightning. I would like to hear what multicolored thunder sounds like.
