It's been a while since we had freezing rain that turned everything into a slick sheet of ice.
I don't really need to do it more than once in a lifetime but living in Wisconsin gives us a chance every winter.
I will say that the sun shining through the ice was so beautiful. Shiny and sparkling as the trees moved in the breeze.
Unfortunately, the heavy ice caused many trees to have limbs break off and land on power lines.
Our church was cancelled due to slick roads but we went to Shawano anyway. The roads were not clear but not slippery like they could have been.
When we got home, our power was non existent. Pat pulled out the generator and fired it up. It ran just fine but as soon as we plugged something in, there was no power.
Fortunately the Gourley home had power so we went to their house and borrowed their generator.
We ran it all the rest of Sunday and into Monday morning. We were without electricity for over 24 hours! We have since replaced that defective generator with a new one!
