The phone and DSL are back up and the ice is melting a bit. However, we're supposed to get a few more waves of ice later today and early tomorrow. After my voice post this morning, I went outside to take some photos and in the few minutes I was out there I heard a tree collapse in the woods nearby. My brother tells me he could hear several large branches or whole trees falling every this morning near him.

I ordered my bus tickets online last night, but ended up with the wrong time for my departure from London. The confirmation has me leaving at 3:50AM, but there is no way I can get a ride to London at that hour. I was planning for my departure time to be 8:00PM. Talking to a Greyhound Canada representative on the phone, I was told that I could use the tickets for any departure time as long as they are for the same day and the same person. I should be fine
We got some more ice last night, the top of one of my parents trees came down. And while we have electricity this morning, we have no telephone or dsl. I'm calling in on my cell phone which apparently still works...
I... got my tickets last night for the rest of my trip. Two tickets to London, where I'll be picked up, and then go to Saint Thomas from there. And er, then tickets back from London to Boston.
And I guess, well. I'll fill you in on yesterday. I had a good time. We all, felt great to be here with my brother and sister, Maddie and Jonas, Christian and Heather, and of course my mum and dad. It's been the whole family, it's something that hasn't really happened in a long time.
i've been having a great time. The ice makes it a bit surreal, but if you know me surreal is good.
I guess that's it for the update this morning. I'll probably do more updating because, you know, I'm addicted to LiveJournal. I make lots of updates. So... that is all.”
“It's 9am here, and there's about a 3/4ths a centimeter of ice over everything outside. Not that much, but enough to pull the powerlines down so that we have no electricity here at my parents house.
Looks like this weekend will be spent mostly just sitting in the house.
The light flowing through the ice does make for some nice photographs, and I have taken a couple this morning.
I'm not quite fully awake yet, and I will make a fully lucid voice post one of these days — I promise. I just haven't in the last couple.
I should conserve battery power, I don't know when I'll be able to recharge this cellphone.”
