Ice skating anyone?

It's a cold icy day up here in the Northeast. After a night of sleet and a ton of freezing rain this morning, our driveway is pretty much skate-able at this point.


So far the electricity has been holding out for us, but the winds are supposed to kick up this evening and with the branches all laden with ice (like this poor Japanese maple), we're sure to see some tree damage by the time the wind dies down.

This weather totally blows, but I have to admit that the trees always look so beautiful when they're covered in ice.

i agree- they do look beautiful... but i hate losing power.

i'm hoping it doesn't freeze over tonight too badly. i'd like a decent commute.
