We drove down to Elmira (about an hour south of us) to meet our friends Doug and Donna for lunch. We had a good lunch and a nice visit.

At home, all the ice has melted off the trees but on the drive to Elmira we saw lots of trees, telephone poles, etc. that were still coated with ice, even with the above freezing temperatures. It made us realize just how lucky we were. Donna lives just outside of the Campbellville area and she told us that they were unable to leave their cold dark home until Christmas Eve because of trees blocking the roads and finally returned on the 27th. She said there's lots of downed trees and branches at her home.
