Brrrr is right. It was miserable cold. Took me a good 2 - 2 1/2 hours running the defroster on high just to get the car thawed out enough to drive it....after I was actually able to get the door open, and I still had to scrape ice off the windshield, and it was a couple more hours after that and driving it for over an hour before I could get the wipers free of the ice. This is the worst ice storm I've seen in many years. Felt like I was living in Sharkey country! The schools were still out today and still over 50,000 people in the county without power. Here's a couple more shots.

This tree needed trimming anyway.

This is the other side of my front yard.

And this is my back deck after the first wave. Didn't get any after the second. Waited it out till the crap started to melt.

OMG! sweet. That looks gruesome. Aren’t ice storms just the worst? Glad you are safe and warm.
