Ice, ice, baby


It takes an awful lot to close down IU, and today's ice storm didn't quite do it. Local schools and so forth are closed, the roads are not so much roads as wide sheets of ice, and power lines around town are snapping (or are being brought down by falling tree limbs), so right now 6,000 people are without power.

Our friends to the north have it worse, however. West Lafayette is under a snow emergency, and Purdue actually shut down for 24 hours. The IU-Purdue game, set for tomorrow night, might be postponed.

Time to stay indoors, put your feet up, and have some hot soup!
