Winter Weather Round 2

 Once again we were captive in our home because of winter weather.  This time it was three nights of light freezing rain and sleet. Which meant each morning we looked out at the shiny glazed road and said "Not today".  But it was fine since we were once again ready.  The fourth day it had warmed enough to get up the hill.

 Ice makes me nervous tho.  Twenty nine years ago we had an ice storm that crippled the region.   The day had been a rainy low 70s*F... but that night it dropped to the low 20s*F.  With the rain still coming down.  It was bad folks.  I woke up to what sounded like gun shoots.  The sound was branches snapping under the 2 inches of ice coating them.  Not just branches either; trees came down with a soft moan and a crash.  Our power went out on 9 Feb, not to come back on until the 18th.

 Yep, I was nervous.

 It went well for us this time.  There was an ice coating of a 1/4" to a 1/2", and no electrical issues.

First morning ice.

The fourth day...
