Lights out in Lakewood

Last night the ice storm struck as Jessica and I were convoying down to Cleveland Hopkins to return a rental car. A sudden outage of lights in the distance made me wonder if power would be out at our place in Lakewood. But when we got home our lights were on. Today I drove Jessica to work and stopped at McDonalds on the way back– and managed to get the car stuck on an ice sheet (which had been covered by a layer of fresh now) until a few guys helped push it out. After getting the car a few feet up the semi-plowed driveway at our place, I went inside in the hopes of riding out the storm for a while–but then the power went out in the neighborhood (including stoplights) this afternoon.Fortunately the power is on a mile down the street so I went and got some gas and now I’m at Caribou Coffee sitting by the fireplace sipping dark roast.

  1. It still wasn’t on when we got home after Dan picked me up from work, so we started packing our bags and were ready to head to a hotel downtown. Minutes before we left (literally, minutes) the power came back, so we thankfully spent another night in our new home!
