The St. Louis area, along with much of the Midwest, got hit with an ice storm yesterday and overnight last night.
Some ice covered trees on my street
After being unseasonably warm (70 degrees up until Wednesday) it turned bad late Wednesday night and throughout Thursday with rain, freezing rain, sleet and then some snow overnight last night. Some areas to the north and west of St. Louis got hit harder than the metro area.

Over 500,000 people in the area lost power as of this morning. With gusty winds predicted today, they expect more power outages as the ice covered trees and power lines won’t be able to take the added stress. We didn’t lose power at home (so far) but did at our business. No indication when it will be back on.

Thanks for the changes. I knew something was up as soon as I saw the photos just pop up without the usual interminable wait to load. Much smoother & easier to use. I used to wait until the items remaining count hit about 50 less than the start and stop the load manually. As I come here a least once a day, it makes a huge difference.
Ain't nature grand!
