Snow storm

Dec 1 night
When we arrived in STL it was covered with ice. The snow storm had changed to ice storm and all the trees, house, everything had got a coating of ice. This ice made the branches heavy and there were lots of fallen trees. Santosh picked us up. Luckily the road were are ploughed and no problem.

Dec 2 Saturday
Luckily we had power, and so internet and phone.
Around 10 am, C had some fever and started crying. Daph called the nurse and the nurse said that if we could make it to the hospital in 15 minutes, they would check C. So, we did. C started crying the moment the doc put her stethescope on her. The doc said that C still had ear infection and changed the antibiotics.
We are very fortunate. When we drove around the town in the evening we saw lots of houses without power. We took some pics of the ice. I took chantel to feel the snow and she was very eager to touch it, but withdrew her hands away quickly because of its chilliness. We bought medicine for chantel and some other stuff and came back home.
