Today the sun is out and it is around 42 degrees. Roger is out trying to melt the rest of the ice hanging in the front gutters. The sun does not shine directly on the front part of the house and it keeps dripping and refreezing on the porch. Like an ice rink coming in the front door. The sun feels so great I can't seem to move away from the glass in the dining area. Just found out that the ice and snow have backed up under the neighbors shingles and they have water dripping down through their drywall. YiKES! We had our roof replaced last January because of hail damage and the neighbors insurance company denied their claim so their shingles are older and have been in litigation because of failure. We upgraded to better shingles and paid out of pocket in addition to the deductible so hopefully they will hang tight.
I hope that all people who are out of power and water get some relief very soon. We were so fortunate through both big ice storms we had. Luckily both times we were able to host for others in our family without power. We also have a little more sleeping room so it works out very well. If we had lost power this time we would have probably been okay because we at least have a gas log fireplace and gas water heater and gas stove. We could have survived maybe if we had been without power but glad we did not have to find out.
Mom and Dad got home and settled back in and are trying to restock the frig today I believe.
