WOW!!!

Our first winter storm of the year, and it was quite a storm. They called off school the night before, so that we didn't have school on Friday! That is unheard of around here!! It started raining early in the day, and by 2:30 had begun to sleet along with freezing rain, by 9 p.m it was still at it, but leaning more toward the freezing rain. By this time friends we reporting power out and Monica and Allen were unfortunately having roof problems from the ice with leaking into their house! Yikes!!!

It was kind of eeerie out. It was freezing rain, and you could hear the creaking of the frozen tree limbs, and then once then I was listen out my window... yes open during the storm to listen :), and I heard a branch up the street break and shatter to the ground! It was a pretty devasting storm, by morning we only had about an inch of snow maybe, but the ground, and everything was completely cover in the ice that came before it! WOW!! What a storm! Here are some pics! Trees are down everywhere, and the ice hasn't completely melted yet!
This is a tree right next to my apartment building!
This is the main stree coming into town. There were trees down all along this street!! crews were out cleaning up Friday, Saturday, and even this morning!

This is several trees across the road from me.

Hope everyone is doning well, and is recovering from the ice storm!
