Merry Christmas Eve


We just experienced a two-day ice storm with unusual weather conditions that left trees, bushes and branches with inches-thick coats of ice. The ice was thick enough that we could walk on top of the slippery snowbanks without breaking through --- amazing, but dangerous. Air temperatures stayed warm and all the precipitation came as rain, but froze on contact. So, it's not a white Christmas, but a glittery one. And one where many without power might actually wish for coal this year.
