Pics of the Ice Storm...

[ZaCola3]

My yard is covered in branches...and more are falling all the time, outside sounds like a war zone with popping and cracking...you can literally hear them falling all over the neighborhood.

These are all pretty close to the house, I was still in my house slippers and didn't want to go trekking out into the yard for fear that one would fall on my head.

I hope it warms up enough soon to melt it away before the snow that is on its way in the next few days.

wow that looks horrible!!! I can't remember where you live exactly, but I think you are near my SIL. She was telling me about a horrible ice storm coming!

Well, it looks cool, but dangerous!

[my3hens]

Wow its def beautiful but crazy looking! We had one here not to long ago. I hope it melts up for you guys soon.

Wow, the pictures are beautiful but I know how scary an ice storm can be. I wouldn't be going outside either!

[Jennilyn]

Beautiful pictures! Ice storms are so dangerous...can you believe they can do this to metal? (Ice storm in Quebec in 1998)

those are really beautiful pictures. I cant say I know about ice storms as Ive never been through one but I have seen the after effects on tv. Stay safe and I hope the ice melts soon

Awesome shots Shannon! My parents house got hit with that big ice storm last week. Did some serious damage to the trees in the neighborhood but luckily no one was hurt and no homes were damaged.

I hope it warms up some to melt that ice away before you get a ton more snow. That gets dangerous!

It is beautiful...especially when the sun makes it sparkle. My mom has lots of trees broken in her yard that will have to be taken down. I feel fortunate not to have received that much ice, even though I am only an hour away from some of the hardest hit places here.

[lizzyfizzy]

well i hope you don't have any really big trees close to your house. oye! growing up in springfield, mo i know all about ice. as pretty and cool as it looks it's not worth all the damage it does, that's for sure. i hope you, your family and your house stay safe.

[marnel]

Wow, those shots are Fantastic makes me want a slushiee! lol

[Jennifer]

So beautiful, but dangerous, too. Stay warm and safe!

[junebug]

[CA Dreamer]

:blink:Wowowowo-wow! I hope you guys stay safe and warm! I have never heard of an ice storm... shows how sheltered my existence has been growing up in CA and having parents from Hawaii! Yikes!!! Be careful!

[Tracie Stroud]

Wow! Ice is so beautiful, but I know it's also really scary and dangerous. I hate ice storms! We don't get them often here, but when we do, it's no fun!

[MelissaL88]

I agree - beautiful, but dangerous! Stay warm & stay safe, Shannon!

[kscwgirl]

I haaaaaaaate ice storms but they are so pretty. Great shots, Shannon!!!!

[SamaraGugler]

WOW!! That is so beautiful!!!!

Stay safe and warm.

[AmyM]

Those shots are beautiful. I bet it is so pretty at your house right now! As pretty as it is I hope you don't have any branches fall on the house or anything like that. It remind me of the ice storm we had in 2000. No power for a week, total chaos. The "pretty" wore off after a couple days with no heat. Hoping that's not the case for you Shannon!

[nesser1981]

That's crazy! You guys be safe.

[scrapperjade]

Oh wow Shannon! I know its so scary and dangerous, but its so beautiful at the same time! Stay safe (and warm).

And Jennifer, I remember the Quebec ice storm! I'm in Saskatchewan, so I wasn't there, but I remember watching it on the news every night for like 2 weeks... so many people without heat & power... it was a scary time!

[meems]

beautiful pics, Shannon!

we got snow but not much ice (at least not that i've noticed)

[AnnieBananie]

Eerie. Stay safe and warm!

[Jenn Barrette]

WOW, beautiful photos, but how scary!

[wildblueeyez]

those are some really cool photos you shot!!!

[newfiemountiewife]

Ice storms are much worse than snow, hopefully it'll melt away quickly!

[ZaCola3]

Man-I went out driving last night to take the boys different places and my town is a MESS...Trees down EVERYWHERE, entire blocks of folks without power...My parents had to go stay in a hotel. I felt really bad that we didn't have room here at our house for them...but my sister is home from Indy and we just don't have the room for two other families in our house...
We are supposed to get record cold temps tonight...so no help for meltage...I'm worried.

[Johna]

oh, those are beautiful pictures, but, you are right: it's so dangerous and scary. I hope it won't get as cold as they say!!
I will take the snow in Northern Maine any day over that ice!!! course, right now we have ice under the snow, but anyway... :thumbdown:

[Penny Springmann]

Shannon, wow, that's a ton of ice! Glad your family is safe. I hope your parents get to return home soon! Beautiful pictures.

[pbumbaca]

That is exactly what it looked like around here from last Thursday until about Monday. What caused us and millions to be without power actually! I am glad to hear you all have power Shannon! Those are great photos! I can't believe I didn't get any of our ice storm!

[scarletsierra]

Oh wow, Shannon! So beautiful, but goodness that's a ton of ice! Stay safe and warm, sweetie!!

[Melissa Bennett]

Dang!!! That is some serious ice!!!
