Our City would be closed for a week. Nice pics Steve.

so far no branches hit the house, at lest the big ones, one big one is blocking the road 3/4 of the way, and we still have power. it sounds like a war zone when frozen branches hit the ice on top of the snow.

Great pics!

This is one reason why I chose to live in California. I can't stand the cold. LOL

wow.. those poor trees, Steve. No other damage to the house, I presume?

On the bright side, I sense a bonfire in your future.

Nothing but rain on the Cape...

Wow, amazing how something so dangerous and devastating can be so beautiful in pics.

No damage so far as i can tell. Lots of firewood for next season. I hope to get out around 3:30 to walk around and survey the area, if it stops raining by then. It is warming up and the ice has been crashing down.

why was that flag out at night?

I have two lights on it and it is an all weather flag.

So i just saw i have damage to the fence i put up for the dog. It don't look too bad, i hope i can fix it myself.

Video of the thaw, the rain stopped a long time ago, that noise is the ice.

Think I'd rather have the 20" of snow we got. Ice storms are scary.

Awesome pictures Steve! That flag is funny looking...reminds me of the moon landing, all stiff.

That video is from a surveliance camera?

From my point and shoot camera. The last big crime here was baby lindbergh kidnaping.

Point and Shoot Camera? It looked like it was on a funky swivel or something.

That is just my steady shot hands :wave:

Wow. Looks neat but dangerous. I was just in Dallas yesterday that was hit on Tuesday with heavy rains then instantly to sub 10* temps. Screwed up the city real bad. My butt was puckering on every bridge and overpass as I hit the ice. Marks dont like ice.... more so with summer tires.
Glad I made it out without hitting anything. Several times while coasting my cars tail would slowly slide into the next lane and miss the car by a couple inches.

Now people are getting injured by ice falling from Cowboy Stadium....
