ICE storm






When we heard an ice storm was coming we were ready...or so we thought. Three inches of ice is something I don't recall ever having experienced. Our yard, sidewalk and driveway became an ice rink. We had to literally chisel our drive way clear...piece by piece. (the worst job ever) The kids were home from school for 4 days and enjoyed their time outside sledding on almost flat surfaces, watching movies, and playing the wii. As annoying as it was to clear the drive way, it really was beautiful. Ice coated each branch of my bushes and tree branches. When the sun would shine they would glisten. I'd be alright if we didn't ever get that much ice again though.
