No Snow, But Ice



As you may have read over at my wife's blog that we didn't have snow, but we had an ice storm instead. You can read about here on FOX. The ice storm was really cool... Sadly I had to go to work... Oliver didn't have to go to school till two hours into the day. Normally he starts school at 7:40, but yesterday it was 9:45. The same today for Olie. Even though we didn't have any more of the storm the day was delayed. I had the joy of driving in the ice, because my school district is pretty dumb! Anyway, ice storms are dangerous, probably more so then snow because it is so heavy and snow is not. What happens is the rain falls and it hits the trees and power lines and everything. So there ends up being a thick layer of ice all around anything that is coming up out of the ground. Needles' on trees are each wrapped in ice. Very nice, Very Cool, Very cold... Some pictures of the weather:


The first picture is of Oliver's School Website stating that there is a weather delay, and the other is of a weather map showing the snow, ice, and rain...
