2009 Ice Storm

The weather man predicted we would have an ice storm this week! Monday as I left for work it started to mist lightly, by noon we had a heavy mist that was sticking. A I headed home it was a light freezing rain and temperatures were dropping. At 10:00 pm we had a thin layer of ice over everything. Tuesday morning we woke up to freezing rain, then sleet, some snow, then back to sleet, which lasted until late Tuesday night. Of course schools were closed and so were the major business. We mainly stayed in by the fire, but Papa got out for a while to take care of the cows! Late last night the sleet stopped and we woke up this morning to 9 degrees and a white wonder land. There is an inch of ice on the power lines and about 4 inches of sleet on top of a layer of ice. The sun is shining so it is suppose to warm up to 25 degrees so we are going to bundle up and go out and play on the 4 wheelers!


It's sleeting!


Still sleeting........


Papa heading out in the sleet to feed!
