Ice, Ice, Baby

The weatherman wasn't kidding yesterday, and we awoke to an icy winter wonderland this morning. We lost power sometime in the night, but it was restored a bit before noon.

Right around the time that we were starting to debate whether to move some food from the fridge to the garage (where it's well below 40°) or from the freezer into an ice chest (to protect from marauding wild beasts - like BigGaloot) in the yard (where it's freezing - obviously), Shrike walked into the living room, looked out the front window and said, "Oh, look, there's the power company now."

Sure enough, they were trimming some branches from a tree across the street, and a few minutes later they moved down the road a bit, did some more stuff and the lights were back on.

Yea!

The photos below were taken in our front and back yards. It will probably be even more impressive by tomorrow, as the icicles continue to drip and refreeze.
