Thawing Out

Ah, freezing rain, I haven't seen in you many years. The last time I remember being iced over was in college and it was a few inches of ice on everything. I ice skated to class. It was terrible. This time we had 1/4-1/2 inch on everything. Our mailbox was an ice block, the butterfly tree was completely bent over our peach tree and the tree by the shed was bent completely over and touching our roof! We never lost power, but I thought for sure that we would. The lights did some flickering and brown outs, but the power stayed on.

We didn't get a whole lot more snow after the original dumping, but the girls had fun playing in what was there. Leia's still not so sure about the white stuff, but she had more fun this time than last. It helped that the temps were in the 20s and not near zero. The girls really liked trying to make a snow fort with sand toys.



Now the snow is turning to slush. We're supposed to have temps in the 40s this week and lots of rain. I think we're making up for the incredibly dry winter we've had.
