Even More Ice Storm Photos

It seems as if it's finally over. We had a little more rain last night and temps dropped like a rock so we got even more ice. Not much more, but it also didn't help that everything that had melted yesterday refroze. I don't know if anyone watched the Today Show this morning but they had someone reporting from St. Joeseph, which is just north of us. The difference between us and them is that we warmed up to 31 or so degrees and they stayed at 28. If it hadn't warmed up, we would have what they do. They said yesterday that as much as 95% of St. Joe was without power yesterday. We had one flicker, but that's it. I did see a transformer, somewhere close, blow last night...it's hard to miss that distinctive, bright blue light. Oh, and they're calling for snow on Friday and Saturday.

Anyway, I handed Jacob the camera on the way to school this morning and he took some (pretty good) pictures of some of the ice in our area. Any white you see on the trees is pure ice. There is a touch of snow on the ground but not much.

This is the little farm (soon to be subdivision but they're keeping the barn) across from the school. You can tell that it's still really ugly outside.

A tree in our subdivision. Trees leading out of our subdivision.
Windbreak trees.
This tree is right next to the school parking lot. I don't know if you can see where it's snapped up at the top right. It also never hangs this low.
More trees by the school.

Awesome pictures. We got lucky again. No ice, at least not when I went to work this morning. We supposed to get cold weather with some light snow today or tomorrow, but the weekend will be dry and cold. I hope the weather holds so that we can make the trip to Georgia.

Most of our stuff is gone. Just gone. The sun even came out this afternoon.

Now they're saying 3 inches of snow Friday night into Saturday morning. Just freaking great.
