What a storm!

We had a huge ice storm on Thursday night. Just incredible.




We lost power early on Friday morning but by 6am it had come back on. We have been extremely fortunate to have had power since then with only a brief interruption yesterday morning. Other people, like my parents and I.'s parents, have no power and probably won't have it for several more days.

We had some major damage to the tree in our front yard and lost probably five or six large branches. A couple came to rest on the front of the house but didn't do any damage. We also had a large tree fall across the stream in the backyard, falling just a few inches from my birdfeeders. We've been very lucky throughout. Yesterday morning I took a drive around town and took a few pictures of the amazing damage.
