Here are a few more pictures of the storm. The kids were having a lot of fun with it. They figured that since schools were all closed, ours should be too. So it has been a nice slow week for them.
All that ice sure made sledding fast and fun. They would almost go right down to the road. And on this side right up to the little house. I'm sure they will remember this storm for a long time. They can tell their kids, back when I was little......now THAT was a storm!
Below you can see by the icicle that Caleb is holding how thick the ice was everywhere. They thought it was quite something. It sure made some awesome decorations.
Above, just going for a walk through the clayroad. Hope there is no falling ice! Could be hard on the head.
A quick look at Klaas and Alice's. Lots of branches down there as well.It was a good thing that we did not get high winds with all the ice on the trees. That would have been a bad combination.
This last picture I took out back. You can see that there is a branch in the top that is ready to snap.
This concludes the pictures of the storm of 2008. I hope you enjoyed them.
We did get our power back yesterday afternoon. On day four. It makes you think of the saying:"You don't appreciate something until you it's gone!"
Have a great week.

nice pictures! Thanks for sharing them with us. I dont think I feel like I missed out on the storm and the whole out of power thing. I hope that you are having a nice relaxing sunday. Love you so much Dad!
Love Amanda
Love those images! It sure brings back memories....
It is really nice to have the power back on when you've been without it, but I recall those nights by the oil lamp around the big table together and the woodstove just cranked with a pan of melting snow on top.
Thanks for the pictures!!! I tell my friends to look at your blog!
Love ya, and see you soon, Tetcy
I love those pictures..reminds me of an ice storm we had once..i dont remember when though... from the picture of the kids on the clay road i thought that they went sliding to there and I was trying to figure that one out..i should have finished the blog first.. :)
Glad to see that that slider thing is working out well for them! Love you so much too! Thanks for the pictures again! Love Dianna
Caleb looks so much like Pete in the first picture. $ days without power- wow. And we still don't even have snow here. In fact, we just had a record warm day on wed. 24C. It was really strange to see pele walking around in tank tops and capris and things when you realized that it is Feb.
crazy. We are supposed to get some so tomorrow though... a whole inch, I think. hahaha
