Ice Storm
We're in the middle of the worst ice storm that either of us has ever experienced. We had a very bad one here about 20 years ago or so, but this one is much more severe. While thankfully, our house hasn't suffered any damage from falling trees or limbs, our yard and land around the house looks like a war zone. Our house was surrounded by large trees, and many many large and medium sized limbs and branchs are everywhere. The environment is still covered with probably a half inch of ice or more, and it is well below freezing tonight. For over a day our phone was out, and we couldn't travel. We hope to make it in to work tomorrow, but we're not sure. I've got some pictures, which I'll upload when I get them on the computer. It's beautiful visually, but our poor trees. They are suffering.
