The big storm that hit a majority of the US this past week came to us in the form of ice! I woke up Tuesday morning to a pretty sight and this was really just the beginning. It was freezing rain the entire day and night again. By midnight our trees in front (they are little and just a few years old) were so ice covered they just hung so low! And then the wind picked up and it was eerie to lay in bed and hear the trees breaking from the weight of the ice! Thankfully we didn't lose power (many in our town did). Ross and I were thinking that maybe we paid our dues for at least a couple years after our 11 days without power a couple of years ago!! (of course, now that I say that...)
Anyway, ice is crazy and dangerous, but it makes the trees look like they are dipped in glass!
The frozen grass was cool. You could just kick your feet through it and pieces would go flying! It always makes me think of this guy that Ross new from Minnesota who, when he was little, would wait for the girls at the bus stop and see if anyone came with wet hair, and if it froze they would go and snap it off!
