ice storm hits the south


I guess I should not be complaining about the chill in the house when I come home from work...it must have been about 65 degrees inside with no heat running!
My hometown of Cowpens, SC made the news yesterday. We found this photo on foxnews.com of the ice storm that hit the South.
The other two photos are from Greenville, SC. Some people will be without power for a few days. We heard from April in Greenville that BJU has power on campus, but most of the city was without power this morning.

We have not been able to contact Josh and Janelle in Greenville(photo from downtown yesterday). Mom and Dad had power in Cowpens, while my cousins who live a few minutes away did not. Weather predictions call for snow in the Carolinas possibly Saturday night or Sunday. This could be a major storm before it is over.

  1. Jo Ann,
    We finally were able to get in touch with Josh Saturday night. Their power came back on around 6pm. They only have a phone with answering machine which works only with the electricity, so we were only getting a busy signal until Saturday afternoon. They had spent Friday night with Janelle's sister. The roads were ok, they just had to dodge fallen trees and power lines everywhere they went. We are still waiting to hear from Winnie, not sure when or if she is coming to Florida. Stephen and family will be arriving Christmas Eve at about 9:45pm by sleigh, I mean plane. Hope to have the Christmas tree up by then!! Have a merry Christmas!
    Tim and Cindy
