When there is an icestorm, seems like everyone says "you just don't believe what an icestorm looks like until you experience an icestorm." It's just incredible. You hear this eerie creaky sounds because the living trees are encased in hard ice and as a result they start cracking and eventually break. There might be snow on the ground and when the rain lands on the snow there is a hard covering of thick ice over the snow. Starsky had a tough time going to the bathroom. We just laughed as he slid along the grass. The following pics are from our camera and the icestorm. I'd say it was probably a mild icestorm, thank goodness.
This picture shows our driveway. Luckily, Brad chose a place that has covered parking. Still, the trees hung so low that we couldn't actually back out without driving on the front lawn. Later, Brad chopped these hanging trees down.
These are our chairs on the front porch.
Brad took this pictures as he walked to school.
We heard a crash in the night and found this tree in the morning.
Brad's friend left his bike at school. Oops.

I lived there too and never saw an ice-storm. You've seen two! Well one day I guess there was a tiny one that we were driving in and it froze the windshield but nothing like these pics or the crazy one that happened before I got to MO.
My buns are freezing looking at that bike! Yikes! Chloe is pretty irresistible, I must say! Isn't the discovery stage fun...and time-consuming!? :)
Oh my goodness! I laughed out loud when I saw that bike! We wished we'd seen an ice storm when we lived out in Iowa but in those 3years they didn't have one! I'm glad you've had a chance to 'experience' one. Great blog!
