Declared the worse ice storm in this area in some time, I'm thankful we haven't lost power yet. Were still iced in and it's beginning to sound and look like a battle field. Trees are loaded down with ice, making many smack, crackle and pop. We've lost many, but this pine tree takes first place in losing the most limbs, just missing the birding station. As I walked around our place, I could hear trees falling all around, crashing down in the woods, hopefully doing no damage? It's spooky out there, the cold silence with limbs popping. Oh, winter in Missouri!
It's been a wild winter, late at that but like the trees, I too will forgive and look for spring, soon I hope. I'm at least making good use of my time at home, getting the craft room organized, working on my valentines, drinking coffee. Gee, life is good! I hope it's been good for each and everyone of you, esp. those of you who are in the deep freeze too, hang in there.....February is Sunday!
Oh, I'm so glad you haven't lost power. It is an eerie feeling to hear the limbs snapping and falling. Take care.
ReplyDeleteBbrrrr...just looking at your pictures makes me cold. Hopefully all this will melt off soon and Spring will peek out at us.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness.. Stay warm. I can remember ice storms in Washington. Trees were sounding just the way you described. brrrrrr There is kind of a Peacefulness though when it is quiet when you take a walk in it all bundled up for sure! Mittens, Scarf. Parka Boots

Oh my goodness. What a storm. We are getting snow in our neck of the woods but know freezing rain. Stay warm and safe. I love the picture of the pine.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue~looks like you took a harder hit than we did! We lost power off and on Tuesday and then it went out that night until Wednesday morning. Hope you are staying warm!
ReplyDeleteI love the pine photo, Sue!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Feb is here! It seems January flew by. I suppose because we were busy painting and such.
Stay warm. Hope your power stays on.
It is definitely an eery sound when trees break in ice.
It's good to hear you're safe! You're pictures are incredible! Now stay inside stay warm! :)
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, we have those ice storms here in Alabama too, a lot more often than we have snow. They can be so dangerous, but they do make a pretty photo.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and warm and have a great weekend!
Its been a rough winter for me too, but you seem like your winder is one of the worst ones in awhile. Stay warn and I hope the lights hold, Denise (beautiful photos!)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you still have power! Stay warm. Blessings, KAren
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the snow (we never see any) but HATE those ice storms (we do get them occasionally).
ReplyDeleteStay snuggled and warm!
