Ice Storm

Thing got a wee bit icy since yesterday. Power went out and back on again a number of times in the night, finally going out for maybe 4 hours early this morning. Our mail carrier told me she's carrying a rubber mallet with her today - that's the only way she can bust the ice off mail boxes to get them open!


This doesn't look very inviting to the birds!


Gee, the brand new weather monitoring system was saying we're getting ZERO wind - could it be because the wind monitoring part is frozen solid in ice?





The birds are having a hard time sitting on the shepard's hook - they slip right off the thick coating of ice.


Still, all this ice IS beautiful!
