Snow/Ice Day

So the snow/ice hit Springdale hard this week. We have not had power since Tuesday at 10 a.m. and it's now Thursday at 1 p.m.! Thank goodness Kraig's Mom has had power so we have been staying warm at her house the last few days. Below are some photos of the ice storm. Enjoy!

This is part of the tree damage outside the Beck home.

My attempt at professional photography. Look how thick the ice is!

This is what Pump Station road looked like after they cleared the road. We left our house Tuesday at noon to go to Russ and Sue's house and sometime between then and Tuesday night this road was covered with down trees! If we had not left our house when we did we would have been stuck at home without power, cable, Internet, etc because the other way to get out of our neighborhood was blocked by a down power line! Kraig and I were shocked they had this road cleared by Wednesday, because when we tried to drive on it Tuesday night it looked like a war zone! Trees were covering the street! It was bad! These photos were taken Wednesday after they had cleared the street. Thanks to all who work on the power lines, clear trees, etc during weather like this! It is cold and I sure don't want to be out in it!

If we could have got to our house Tuesday night I would have taken photos of all the trees down, but honestly when we left Tuesday at noon, we didn't think it would be this bad so I didn't really prepare well. I got all of Lauren's stuff...but didn't get anything for me or Kraig. :-)

We are still without power, but at least we have a warm place to stay! The Beck Hotel has treated us very well! Thanks!!!!!
