Our first ice storm







This was such a crazy thing for us!  It was awesome.  We probably looked like people who are seeing snow for the first time.  Besides being super cool, the kids got out of school for 2 days and Chris got out of work for 1.  Lucky for us we didn't lose power.  That might have detracted from the coolness of it.




This is the underneath side of the picnic table.  The rain froze as it was dripping through the holes.  Check out the seat.  Totally covered in ice, that is what the table top looks like.


It looks a little like frost but it is ice, completely covering the branches.

It's hard to tell when you see the leaves head on but you can see the one leaf sideways and they all have ice on the tops and undersides.  I never knew that ice had patterns like snowflakes.

It looks like the water is dripping off but, it is also ice.

AMAZING design in the ice!  



The ice froze on individual blades of grass
