Snow and Ice Storm

Yesterday morning we woke up to a snow storm, it starting with just snow, the kids were home by 11:00a.m. after a 3 hour day, which was a waste of gas for the school buses, but anyways.........it snowed all day long and then last evening started to ice/sleet/rain. Boy! all night long you could hear it on the windows while "trying" to sleep, pitter patter on the windows, sometimes very hard. We woke up this morning to the pics below that I took .........ice!

Here in Pennsylvania we'd rather have 12" of snow than 2" of ice, like we got. Snow we can handle, but ice? nobody can.......your inside for the entire day. It was very hard to shovel, dig out and everything is just solid ice. You walk on the 6" + of snow we got and you don't even sink down.

A tree out back made this very nice picture!

My car (red one) is buried sitting across the street at the garage, we tried to get it running yesterday to move it out back where we normally park but the battery was simply dead and we had no time to get a new one. So, my car got buried last night and probably will get buried more and more as the snowplow trucks keep going pass all day long.

Steve and a neighbor guy were trying to help this car that got stuck turning into an alley way (which still isn't plowed open as I write this blog), he finally got through the snow/ice after several pushes and pulls.

OUr sidewalk out back, nothing but a sheet of ice.
