Icy Storm Pictures

The almost decorative look is due to freezing, partial melting and refreezing.

Even the ol' fence takes on new beauty

So, these are from Sunday's ice storm. Figured I better get them posted before tomorrow's snow.

Yep, we are under another Winter Storm Warning, though it's still unclear how much; could be up to four inches with strong winds to follow.

Snow overnight and then blowy conditions tomorrow.

I already postponed one trip to Cedar Rapids on Monday, due to lingering ice and heavy fog (and sickness in the kids). Now I hope the reschedule of Nolan's math assessment on Thursday will  not be problematic. He was completely bummed out (as in really upset, huffy, and claiming he wasn't sick...never mind the slick roads, fog, and Trevor's temperature).

Church on Sunday was cancelled, as well. Even if the weather had cooperated practically every remaining family had sickness.

Ah well.

Loren came down with a fever and aches yesterday, but has spent a good bit of time "sleeping it off" so there is some improvement. And Trevor appears to have rebounded fairly well since yesterday. I've keep their school (Nolan and Trevor) to a minimum, though perhaps still more than they would have liked :-)

Time to get a start on supper and then watch the early news for the weather. The boys obviously want lots of snow.

Me? I would be very happy for all the family to be well again.
