Ice Storm: Day One

Well the ice storm started last evening.  Right after dinner I started getting a few things together just in case the power went out.  Our luck is still holding and the power is still on - I am keeping my fingers crossed!   The ice continued to come throughout the night and then turned to sleet.  We have about an inch of the two on the ground.  The neighborhood kids are playing hockey in the cul-de-sac - on skates!  That is how much ice we have and more is coming.  Here are a few pictures from today.

 This section took me thirty minutes of working the ice free and then shoveling it off the driveway.  I came to the conclusion I prefer snow shoveling over ice removal.

This is one of our shrubs by the front porch - totally ice covered.
