Baby it's cold outside

We survived the worst ice storm in St. Louis history!

The storm hit on Thursday, Nov 30th knocking our power out late that night. It didn’t take long for our apartment to loose all its warmth so first thing in the morning we started searching for a place to stay until our power returned. We spent the following four days at our friend’s house.

The sad consequence of this storm was the loss of our pet fish Steve who froze after we abandoned him. However, Raamses, our snake, survived—thanks to Chris’ quick thinking and use of hand warmers.

I’ve never been in an ice storm before and they can really do a number on the power lines. But WOW, the beauty the storm leaves behind is breathtaking.
