The winter storm The Weather Channel has named for the Hindi word for "illusion" is no illusion, it's the real thing. It's bringing snow, ice and rain to my area tomorrow after having wreaked havoc elsewhere, and even though the ice my area is expected to get is more likely to be sleet - rain that freezes in midair - than rain that freezes the moment it comes into contact with whatever it touches, like tree limbs and power lines, it's still going to be a nasty storm for us. So, even though it won't be a bona fide ice storm, a 49th power outage for my block, counting from November 2009, can't be ruled out entirely.
I've had an easy winter, and the idea that would remain easy was just an illusion; this is Mother Nature's way of having everything turn out even, especially after it was over sixty degrees Fahrenheit early last week.
Stick around. I may be back soon.

Update: We got more sleet, which doesn't accumulate on power lines, than freezing rain, which does, and what freezing rain we did get wasn't enough to weigh down anything. Our power survived.
