Ice Storm

If you've never seen an ice storm before, they really are awesome. We have about 1.5-2 centimeters of ice creating a dangerous and beautiful crystaline cocoon over everything: roads, trees, houses, cars, trees, etc... It is lovely, but scary, too. As the ice builds, the weight of it builds, too. The trees start to literally shatter under the weight, bringing down power lines, falling through rooftops, blocking the already icy roads, and all sorts of mayhem. Beautiful, but I think we'll stay home today. Given our lack of a 4WD vehicle, it's not really a choice.
