ice ice baby

it is day 3 of our major winter storm.
it started rolling in monday night.
woke up tuesday to about 1/4 inch of ice.
on EVERYTHING.
had a decent "break" tuesday morning/afternoon.
it started back up again tuesday night.
went to bed with close to an inch of ice.
last night was INSANE! couldn't sleep at all.
sounded like we were under attack...every time a branch swayed,
the ice shattered into a bajillion pieces and rained down on the roof.
the girls even woke up because they thought it was thundering.
now it's just snow and crazy wind...
and a waiting game on whether the power stays on or not.

my sidewalk? unpassable.
my driveway? an ice rink.
my street? don't even get me started.

thinking of taking up curling. or shooting the girls over to the neighbors in a garbage can lid.

anyway....it's given me a couple days off. MUCH-NEEDED days off.

here are some of my favorite shots of our "natural disICEster".
