Ice storm!

We had an ice storm last night!

Isn’t it pretty?

Ice storms happen like this:

They cause trouble. The weight of the ice

Does this to trees

We were worried about the maples so we took a trip up to the sugarbush. It looks fine though, there’s only a few small branches broken.

It didn’t go above freezing all day and there were 30 mile an hour winds. The forecast is for 9F (-12C) tonight, so we’re hoping the trees can carry the weight without too much damage.

I’ll see your ice storm and raise you two feet of snow.

Great photos (and drawing), Julie.
