Yes, that's what it's like around here.  Everything is covered with ice.  I have my scanner on and hear that the highway department trucks have to back up a lot of the country hills to be able to get up them.  I've been out twice already to spread salt on my driveway and try to do some chipping.  I expect the kids to come over here this afternoon and I'm afraid the ice will not stop them.  My brother and sis-i-law may stop by for a bit later too.  I'm not sure if the ice will stop them.  It's possible that some of the other relatives will drop in too, but may not, with the way the weather is.  Years ago we use to have a large number of visitors this weekend, but not so much any more these days.  ds-Jim and d-i-l-Karen are going to be making cheeseburger soup for us all.  It's their specialty and so good and rich on a cold winter day.  dd-Sue will probably be working on my new computer and getting some things installed for me.  The kids took me out to eat at Olive Garden last night and I thought that would be the extent of the celebration for this year, but I guess they've decided that we're going to celebrate all weekend.  I took off from work  tomorrow, so I have one more day to enjoy.  I decided I just didn't want to work on my birthday this year.

Oh oh - I'd better check the map and see if you are sending it down to me. We bought the last ice chipper in the store the last time around and are hoping it is our insurance - LOL. I'm pretty sure we have some big weather change coming because I ache all over today.

Cheeseburger soup?? Must look up the recipe - I'm so tired of fancy cooking.

happy birthday kaci...so how was the cheeseburger soup,i never heard of that,it sounds good. i made chili tonite,and yes its good on a cold winters day. we had ice here also,but not so bad.the trucks were out salting and rich and i were out running around from burlington to waukesha on 94 and 43 and both highways were good. although on some of the country roads there was plenty of black ice. the parking lots were antoher story...you would think they would salt the whole lot,but no..rich slipped as he was walking and pulled a muscle. i dont mind winter,but this freezing rain and ice i dont like. i hear we have another snow system coming the end of the week. enjoy your day off tomorrow..hugs mindy

You're not late at all. Today (January 5) is my actual birthday. We just celebrated yesterday because it was Sunday and everyone was able to come over.
