Careful what you wish for....

We had a fun snow day on Wednesday
but by Thursday morning things were looking a little different...

trees were snapping
(this is our tree in the front yard...what you can't see to the left is the neighbors truck it just missed)


plants were covered in a layer of ice


our snowman got a frozen runny nose


a layer of ice covered our world



many neighborhoods lost power...we were one of the lucky few who did not
we did lose cable and internet access for awhile
my Mom has SO many trees down on their property (some on their roof) and as of last night were still without power


school was cancelled for the rest of the week


and thankfully today the temperature has warmed and things are beginning to thaw.

  5. I think the ice is beautiful, but anytime we have an ice storm, and that's not more than once a year, we lose our power! We're the first to lose it and the last to get it back! But it really is lovely to look at.
