There's a power outage affecting 98% of the households of the county in which I live, including ours. Hocking County, Ohio isn't alone, apparently. Also enduring major outages are a number of other counties here in Appalachian Ohio, as well as the Tristate area around Cincinnati and some parts of central Ohio.
Much of the country, it seems, is enduring the same ordeal.
And it really is an ordeal, for some more than others. Many in our county have been without power since yesterday morning. Our power went out at 5:50pm last night. We were able to sleep comfortably under layers of blankets and comforters.
Functioning outside of the sheets was a more difficult proposition. So too was digging our vehicles out of the striated layers of ice, snow, ice, and snow.
The temperature right now is 25-degrees with a chill factor much lower than that.
We're told that power may not be restored until Sunday night. We shall see.
I hope that you're staying warm and dry wherever you are.
(Our daughter, who lives in Florida, informed me today that the temp was in the eighties!)
[UPDATE, 9:00pm: The power is back on!]

I hope you're adequately thawed out over there in Logan. Looks like Cincinnati may be in for round two. We're getting a pretty significant snowfall even as I type.
Stay warm.

We've been watching the weather coverage at ONN and see that you all are getting hit with another winter storm. It's not supposed to hit here this time.
You stay warm!
