We've been without power now since 8pm last night. We braved the cold last night and stayed in our house (mainly because the streets were too icy to leave) and just bundled up, and the temp in the house stayed around 55. This morning, though, it was dropping quickly, so we came down to Cincy and have been hanging out at my parents' house. As of a half hour ago, our house still has no power. DH is going to drive back tonight to get the water running so the pipes don't burst, but there's no way in heck we can sleep there tonight, so we're going to have to spend the night here in West Chester. I can't even think of the logistics of getting back to Dayton in the morning to be at work at 7:30 and getting Leah to daycare.
To top it off, we ended up with water getting into the foundation and all last night, we had water running down our basement walls. Nightmare.
Re: STILL no power in our house...
That sucks
I hope it comes back soon.

Omg, Erin! I'm so sorry you're dealing with this mess! I was thinking of the fellow Dayton bumpies, wondering who was without power...
Somehow we never lost power despite tons of exploding transformers on our street on Monday evening. Our street looks like a war zone though - tons of power lines down and trees/limbs!
I hope it comes back on soon! (At least you have another snow day today!!
)
We just had a 2 hr delay, so I am at school.
