February 11, 2008: Made it back to Waterloo!!!! Posted lots of photos…
We made it back to Waterloo this evening. The plane ride was about 1 1/2 hours. There was a small delay. Weather I suppose. It is cold here in Waterloo. Temperatures tonight are going to hover around 0 degrees to 5 above zero. BRRRR! That is actually colder than Quebec City!
A MAJOR ice storm is hitting the Paducah Area. Massac County and McCracken County are reporting trees down and power lines. Dylan was without power as of 8 p.m. Hopefully they won’t be without power all night. It would certainly make for an unpleasant evening. It looks like temperatures will rise above freezing after midnight in Paducah and perhaps after 2 a.m. in Metropolis. We can hope!
Portions of Southeast MO and Southern IL will have a lot of power lines down and trees. This is a big ice storm. There have been reports of thundersleet and ice across Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Western Kentucky. Amazing weather.
I have posted a TON of photographs over the last 24 hours. It will probably take you awhile to look at all of them! I still have some more to go through.
We will be leaving for Switzerland and Russia at the end of the week. I wonder how cold Moscow will be?
