Iced in

We had a big ice storm last night. This is something I don't remember seeing until living here in Indiana. It is really quite pretty on the trees, but can be quite dangerous as well. The tree branches get heavy from all the ice and snap off easily, causing problems. While we do have a number of branches down, we are grateful to still have power and no major damage done to our property (knocking on wood). And the bonus: an early start to Christmas break for Matt! :)

Isn't it pretty?

Looks like we've got some work to do...

That's pretty! I like all the little icicles on the power lines. But I'm glad you guys still have power! Ice storms look like they can get miserable and I'm glad we don't really have those here. :)
