Winter Storm Today






An ice and snow storm. We ended up with a 1/2" to 3/4" layer of ice, followed by about 5" of snow. This is my yard and a couple of shots of the ice on my car. I am not sure if you can see it -but way in the back behind and beside the garage-I have a whole lot of huge limbs down. It will take a ton of cleanup. The ice and the snow storm has stopped here. We are hoping that there will be no wind, or I could lose more trees. I hope that does not happen! There are a ton of so many in Iowa without power.

Hi Chris! Thanks for the comment on my blog, thought I'd return the favor. We had a snow day too, but it looks like you were hit harder than we were. Great photos! Hope you enjoyed the "snow day." So good to hear from you. Best, Kim

Hey my friend, great pictures!!!!!! I am glad you are safe and sound! It hit here too, but we did not get the freezing part as badly! The snow and sleet was terribly and HEAVY! Take care of you and Alex.......Hugs,Patti

we had much the same Chris, but less snow & more ice, and it took me some work to get out of my driveway on monday. Now it has rained! I put some icy winter photos up here:

You'll no doubt think I'm completely mad, but I wish it was like this here, just so long as my cupboards were well stocked and we don't have to go anywhere! Your pics are wonderful!
