What a winter blast!

We have been buried under an inch of ice for two days now. We finally were able to get out today and survey all the damage. It looks like a tornado went through and destroyed our darling little town. It's so hard to believe how much damage ice can do.

Thank goodness we are one of the fortunate ones who only lost electricity for a few hours. There are people around who are still out of power and have been for 2 days now, and with the temps hovering between 22 and 28 degrees, it isn't good, as they have no heat.

Things are starting to melt today, which is only adding to the problem as branches are falling that were frozen and causing more power lines down.

Here are some pics of the damage around our town.






It was so cute this morning, Kaylee got up and looked out the window and said "Mommy, look there is glass everywhere outside". It was absolutely breathtaking to see the sun shine through the ice on the trees and ground. Here are a few pics of that, the images aren't near as impressive as actually seeing it.

Wow, that is incredible. I never saw ice like that until I lived in Kentucky. Glad you aren't without power. Hopefully the rest of the people will get it back soon.
