We're getting hit with a little ice storm this morning. The good news is that we're expected to go up to around 40 F by the afternoon, and then slowly work our way up to the 70s by the weekend.

I haven't lost power, myself (probably because I live across the street from a hospital, so I may be on their cell). The cable is up and running, but the local channels are out (so I can watch CNN, but not get any local news). The biggest issue is water right now. My entire apartment complex has none -- we're thinking there's a break or frozen pipes leading into the complex. I have plenty of bottled, and will likely be OK until the ground warms up tomorrow.

I'm also lucky that I can work from home.

Stay warm, folks!
