This is the ice on our tulip tree in the back yard. Wow! We are getting snow today on top of what we got yesterday - snow then ice. Yikes! it looks pretty on the trees, but not good for them.
Here is one of our Japanese Maples in the back yard. I was thinking the branches were broken - wrong - they are just hanging down to the ground. Hopefully it will bounce back up after the ice melts.
We lost a large limb on our dogwood tree that is full of ivy. It is right next to our house - so we heard it crack, crack, crack during the night. At least it is on this side of the house - the other side is where the power enters the house.
Ice on the house and on the power lines
Last night we heard crack, crack, crack all night long. Branches were falling all over our neighborhood. When I woke up and looked across the street I felt we were very fortunate. Across the street there were many tree branches down. Luckily none fell on the power lines :)
Of course we don't have school today. Will see what the rest of the week brings, as it is not supposed to get above freezing until the weekend.
