Frigid Nights for a Swath of States

When a storm in the Midwest makes the front page of the New York Times, you know it was a bad one. And it was. We got about a foot of new snow here - I couldn't make it in to Indy yesterday so I worked from home. It'll be a mess for a couple more days, to be sure The air temp right now is only 4°F, but at least we didn't get the ice (and power failures) that our southern neighbors picked up.

More than a million people in darkness after a storm could face a long wait for electricity, even as federal aid is promised to two states.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
