Ice storm 2011

Pictures best viewed in 'original' size

Today 2-2-2011 Phil predicts an early Spring we've been hoping for. Rightttttt....

At the same time, we got the ice storm that was predicted.
Freezing rain came early.
Schools were called off though the temps will go up to the low 40*F's
but there is so much icy roads and slush on the road from melting snow.
(I hope not too much ice will be on the roads tomorrow morning)
And another Wintery mix is predicted for Saturday.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the ice falling off the branches.
And one branch did come down causing a hole in our siding.
Lucky it wasn't the roof or window.

The power went off about 7:30am and came on 4.5 hours later.
Not to worry, we played Clue and ate cold breakfast and fruit.
