What a week!
You may be still waiting for electricity or water; I hope both are restored soon and you can begin to get things back to normal.
We had water the entire time of the ice storm, but lost electricity. Thank goodness for our fireplace and the wood that Gary and Andrew had piled up. Thank goodness for help getting it split.
Gary had a gas ring and big pot he used for boiling hot water in his chicken processing. The propane ring turned into a cooker for us. Drew came up with some good meals on it although it was hard to regulate on a low temperature.

As I was attending the Carroll County Board of Supervisors meeting this past Monday morning at the Courthouse in Vaiden, Austin Barbour of the Clear Water Group gave an excellent presentation on debris cleanup. This was prompted by the need for debris cleanup in the aftermath of the 2026 ice storm. We could soon start grass cutting and make spring beautification improvements next month. Debris cleanup is front and center now in the aftermath of the recent Ice Storm as we head into spring.
