Welcome to the Midwest!
This tree is in our backyard. That is ice, people, not snow.
Um, yeah, when they say ice storm, they mean ICE STORM!! We are cold, the power has been on the fritz all day, and our whole world is under an inch of ice. I went out to scrape it off the driveway before the snow started, but our $3 plastic shovel was not up to the task.
It’s not just the sight or the bone-chilling cold, but when the wind blows through the trees and the ice cracks, it’s like nothing I’ve heard before. Combined with the grey skies that haven’t seen sun in weeks and the silence before and after the ice cracks through the world, the sound of that cracking ice is downright eerie. Spooky.
I'm ready for some sun!
