N-ice

Well we woke up to ice everywhere and branches snapping off the trees every two seconds. We're hoping there won't be too much damage to the bigger older trees that we love so much. Quite a bit of twiggy wood on the ground though. We're getting some snow this afternoon too, but it shouldn't amount to very much. We'll see. Some really nice looking stuff though, although the birds might not think that. Our main feeder is pretty much inaccessible, a medium sized branch has snapped above it causing it to hang low over the feeder.
Everything looks as though it were covered in glass.
The daisy man on the barn seems to think it's kind of funny...
...but again, the birds - not impressed.
Of course the kids are home from school today. They didn't notice anything unsual outside till it was pointed out to them. Quinn very logically points out, "It's raining outside, I'm going to wear my pajamas all day." Nice.

The ice was beautiful, wasn't it? It looked like crystal hanging from the trees. It reminded me a lot of the ice storm from a few years back.

The big tree in our front yard lost some of their branches because of the ice. We were all sad about that.
