These pics where taken about 2hrs after the storm turned to snow from rain. That was about 8-8:30am today.

And yes that is my ugly mug in the last pic! 14" of snow on my back deck.

Good God, I think I'm going thru withdrawl symptoms. That happened to us in March, but we only got a foot of the white stuff. Hope all you people with the power out hang in there with your tanks. Let us know!!!!

My power was out for 12 hours! darn wind. I checked everything and all appears well. I did lose one Onyx Angel (my favorite too). The tank dropped 10 degrees in that 12 hours. I had it covered with blankets and towels. This morning the temp was back to 82 so Im happy.
