Eugene Ice Storm

We were in Eugene on a Tuesday last week, saw a concert with Derrick and his Tuba.  Great!
In the morning, when ready to head home,  our car was covered with a layer of ice!  Fortunately,  the rain had loosened the ice and had melted on the roads.  We headed to Ashland in heavy rain all the way home!

We learned the next day another torrent of freezing rain hit Eugene again along with snow in Portland.  The snow in Portland caused terrific driving hazards with lots of traffic sliding crashes!  Eugene in the meantime, was gathering freezing rain on trees, power lines and everything else outdoors!  Hundreds of tree limbs came crashing down crushing cars,  injuring people and causing major power outages!  Jana's were without power for 3 days!  and all this just a little over a week away from Christmas!  They are still cleaning up the tree limbs and repairing downed lines.  It seems we all get weather problems somewhere along our pathway.  As the Bible says,  "The rain falls on the just and the unjust."  The promise is that God will guide us through the recovery process!   It's in the process that God's presence shines!  (click on photos to enlarge)
