The snow had barely melted when we got rain. Of course the rain helped bring down the enormous piles of snow. But then, freezing rain on April 2nd and again a few days later.
Limbs came down from the white birch.
A few came down from the pine and then more and more came down with the second storm.
The ice made for some interesting and beautiful scenery. Still, I'd rather do without it.
I don't know how much seed the birds could get out of the feeders. I'm thinking they probably needed to break the ice before they could get to the seed.
I don't believe there was anything not covered in ice. That included power lines. How grateful I am that we have a generator that works! We were able to have heat and power our internet, TV and fridge.
I had a lot to clean up when all was said and done. Pat and Jacob hauled away more than one trailer load of limbs. I cut them up and Tom and I stacked them for removal.
One of the prettiest things I observed was this little bush at church. It was covered in ice and the red berries stood out against the crystals. It was so pretty in the sunlight.
I don't need to do another ice storm. I've had my fill for quite some time.
