More Ice

Ice was everywhere!! Starting around 11pm on Thursday night we heard the sounds of trees cracking under the pressure of the ice. When the sun rose we watched our neighbors tree tops fall to the ground.






































The amount of ice was amazing. Every leaf was covered in at least 1 inch of ice.









This tree usually stands as tall as our roof - 2 stories. About 1 story has recovered.

Andrew, Joshua and Jacob liked it as long as the lights were on. We had evenings together, read books, and cooked over our fireplace. We felt like "Little House on the Prairie".

That isn't snow on our front lawn, but ice.

This was the Great Ice Storm of 08. We lost power for 5 days. These pictures were taken 2 days after the storm ended.

There was so much ice, every blade of grass was covered.

Almost all of the trees in our neighborhood were downed or bent.
