We must be in Southern Iowa…we are covered in ice.  The tree between our house and the dump next door just came down, fortunately it fell toward the dump house and on the sidewalk rather than toward our house or the road.  It's on the sidewalk primarily.  Yes, this is Iowa and winter.

I went back to bed this morning when I saw that it was freezing rain, figured that would be a good use of time LOL

When I came downstairs the first time I tried to turn on the TV with the remote, it didn't work, then I felt my hand was wet (after I had changed batteries).  I couldn't figure out how it could have gotten wet, but it was.  When I came down later Greg told me that it fell into his glass of water (which he couldn't do on purpose I can guarantee you) so he was drying it out with the hairdryer.  It did dry it out and now it works just fine.  Such a strange thing to have happen.
