Boy oh boy.  I wanted some winter weather but this is bad.  B and I consider ourselves very luck.  We never lost power more than a quick flash yesterday.  Getting out this morning for work really showed us how bad it could have been.  Most of the stoplights were out and tree limbs litter the streets.  As beautiful as I think trees are, I am very thankful we only have one small on in our front yard.  The city workers will be busy for weeks to come.

I am not sure what the weathermen estimated, but I would say we had a good half inch of ice. 

It is very pretty, as long as you are not looking at the poor trees.  I feel awful for the people without power and a yard full of down branches. 

See pretty.  No trees.  B and I both had work off yesterday (Monday).  We snuggled with the puppies and ate our weight in junk food.  We weren’t very prepared for the ice storm so we headed out to 7-11 for much needed crap (dr. pepper, funyuns and beef jerky- just the essentials of course).  Look at what we had to get through before we could get in the car!

Our lone tree didn’t suffer much damage, just one branch broke.  But, check out our neighbor’s tree.  This doesn’t even compare to the damage we saw this morning.

Pretty bad.  Poor Zoey has barely gone outside since Sunday.  Her first venture out into the yard was a disaster.  Poor girl slide off the back deck into the icy yard.  She then froze.  Eventually she made it across the yard to the non-frozen spot.

Oh and the best part, when I did make it to work this morning, I came in to find my entire desk space wet.  Apparently the roof leaks where I sit.  Let’s hope my computer still works once everything dries out.
