Virtually the entire state of Kentucky was hammered by snow and ice over the last two days.  The storm left over 500,000 people without power for what may be up to 10 days.  In the Louisville area, over 100,000 do not have electricity tonight.  Jefferson County schools have been called off for the rest of the week and most surrounding counties are expected to do the same. 

Our power was restored early this afternoon and I was able to venture out to get a few pictures and see how Bullitt County held up.  I-65 and most main roads were fairly clear, but virtually every side road was covered to some degree.

 Major roads were cleared by Wednesday afternoon. 

But, even highly travelled secondary roads were still slick.

Many trees were bent over...

and a lot simply broke.

This one did a little of both and blocked the road.

Anyone who thinks schools will reopen this week is delusional.  (Freedom Elementary)

While everything looks peaceful..

there are still many things to worry about.
