More Ice Storm Pictures

This is Maya's leash. Notice the ice on top of the leash.






This is the grass






Our willow wept for several days after the storm. Well, until all the ice melted ; )




The kids loved it




That's about an inch of ice. The truck was completely encased in ice and we had to apply heat and chisel away for about an hour and a half just to get inside and be able to drive it. I was fascinated by the ripples made by the flowing water as it froze.

Well, another ten pictures and an hour (or more) of my evening spent waiting for pictures to upload! This is ridiculous. I will get more posted as I can. I still have yet to post about Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Until next time...

A Few Pictures from the Ice Storm

This is our neighbor up the road
See the ice on the power lines, ice, not snow. Some friends of ours just got their power restored yesterday (Thurs. the 12th). We have been truly blessed. Our power was only out for about two days, I can't imagine two weeks!

This is our backyard.


This is the tree at the corner of our driveway.



The ice is about an inch thick on top of the branch


Many branches broke under the weight of the ice


The wall is actually covered in a sheet of ice and that is the water that froze as it flowed out the waterspout


Spring is near even with all this ice


Looking out my kitchen window
It is taking forever to post each set of pictures, so I'll stop for now and post more later.
Keep checking back!
