It's Raining and Snowing...

...and sleeting and icing...

On our driveway now stands one inch of clear ice (frozen water that came from melted snow), 3 inches from sleeting ice that fell from the sky that has now frozen into a solid brick - a driveway long brick - and tonight snow is falling on top of that. So what did we do? We went sliding down the driveway on our backsides and took pictures of the pretty trees, that's what we did.

Here's a little video of what to do when you don't have a sled. You grab a black trash bag.

Of course, we also took a few pics. The icicles on the trees were starting to weigh the branches down, and branches have begun to break and fall off. More pictures on my phone, but these were the fun ones with the real camera. Who knows what the morning will bring?!?

Icicles forming on tree branches and falling snow getting in the way of the camera.


This one is actually a shot of down our street to the right of the house, but you can't really tell. More pictures coming soon!
