Look closely. The grass is green. The trees have snow? No, it is PURE ICE on those trees. Last night was a HUGE thunder and lightening rain storm. It continued all night and was very threatening. It kept waking me and Landon up...and I thought surely Tanner would come running in sometime during the night, but he never did.
Look at the icicles hanging from the table. We heard about the awful ice storm we barely missed before we moved here at the beginning of the year, but I didn't really understand what it meant. UNTIL NOW. It is fascinating. All of the white on the trees are strictly ICE. Landon and I have been hearing and watching large tree branches snap and fall all around the house...I PRAY one doesn't collapse on us! It's pretty scary. Not many people out on the streets either!
LOOK at those branches with ice hanging from them. It's really quite pretty! But I want it to melt. Now. Please.
We've had a fun day together though! Some cleaning, movies, gingerbread house decorating and good family bonding. Just what we've been needing. Thanks ice storm!

That is CRAZY!!! I've always heard about the ice storms, but I've never seen pictures. That would be cool to see, but I'm glad it's you there and not me. The pictures are awesome though!!!
Wow! I have heard that ice storms are super nasty but very pretty. I guess what I'd heard was right! How often does church get cancelled? Crazy stuff! Definately time for hot chocolate!!!
Eww yuck that looks cold and icy for sure. how fun to stay in and family time together though.
I've been complaining about the snow all week. I'll stop. That looks worse. Pretty, yes, but so is snow and I still don't like it. Great pics though! Hope your shoes have spikes on them for traction!
They had one here, right before we came 10 years ago and everyone still talks about it. Glad you still have power and everything.
Somehow I ran across your blog from a friend of a friend, of a friend. Anyway, we live in Lenexa, Kansas and I realized you must live somewhere near when I saw your ice storm. We didn't get it as bad as you did. Anyway, my blog is www.jilljepperson.blogspot.com
Hey- I just got your comment about how blogging is a popularity contest. Haha. Anyway, its nice to meet you! Thanks for the nice compliments. We did live in Salt Lake and moved to Cedar City. So yep, we're in Utah! Born and raised minus a few blips of Las Vegas and Oregon. But anyway, thanks again for the comment.
Who would've thought that an ice storm would be a blessing! I am glad you had a good day! But that is scary! WOW
I hope you stayed home in your jammies and curled up with a book (or movie) or something.
SCARY. Is it melted yet?
I've never heard of church being canceled! Those are some awesome pictures. You are lucky to have so many trees. Trees are the one of the main reasons we decided to move...to where we are building now...because we wanted trees! Luckily, we found a great spot but they are hard to come by out here in Utah! Missouri is a beautiful place! Dan and I found a spot not to far from Missouri that we would love to retire! Great pictures!

Wow, those are some amazing pictures! Beautiful and frightening. I'd want to stay in my pjs under my covers ALL day. Wouldn't that be fun, especially if you weren't doing it because you were sick!
Are you by Gallatin? We have friends there.
Eek! I'm glad you guys are safe. That's pretty scary stuff.
That is really unbelievable. However, the best thing about storms like those are that you are forced to spend a whole day with your family!
I'm going to post pictures of the cards we did so stay tuned. As for my Christmas cards...I always have great intentions, but that's where it ends. There is still time this year, so we'll see.
So scary! And cold! I hope you guys are surviving!
