ICE!!!!!

This past Tuesday we had a day of drizzle and freezing temperatures.   A "historic" winter storm was predicted for our area  - 0.5-1" of ice followed by snow and 50mph wind gusts.   We have a TON of trees on our property and a storm like this could be devastating.    The rain finally stopped that afternoon and I was able to get a few pictures of the ice. 

This is our grill - you can see that the ice sickles formed over time

We didn't end up with the gusty winds and our trees are safe :)  These pictures were taken this morning -the trees just glistened in the sun, it was beautiful!

Our power returned yesterday afternoon and today the ice is starting to melt/fall off the trees.   I'm ready for SPRING!!
