Ice Storm

We've got a doozy of a mess here--about 1/8 of an inch of ice on all surfaces, now being coated with sleet and the freezing rain/wintery mix isn't supposed to stop until late afternoon.

Our power goes out on a calm, sunny day so we're getting ready for a long term power outage:
candles gathered; new batteries in the flashlights; extra firewood stacked in the garage and in the basement; iPods charging; camera batteries charging....the essentials, you understand.
