The Pacific Northwest is covered in a solid sheet of ice. I took these pictures this afternoon. Hopefully you can see how thick the ice is on the trees and plants.
After the skies dumped 4-8 inches of powder night before last, we have been pelted with freezing rain which began mid-afternoon yesterday.
Last night I was out in my yard with the girls, and as the freezing rain hit the ground it actually sounded like bacon frying!
This has been the 2nd day in a row that my office has been closed, and that has never happened before. We've been closed twice over the last 21 years, but never more than one day at a time.
There are a lot of power outages in the area. Recent newscasters report that 58,000 homes are affected.
The weather has warmed up some though. It's now about 25 degrees, but freezing rain is still in our forecast.
Too bad Starbucks doesn't do deliveries! lol!

Ahhh, another in the Northwest dealing with the snow, ice and all the loveliness it provides! I'm glad your journal was featured and that I had the opportunity to visit.

25 Degrees? You guys are having a heat wave, its zero or below here. I have to keep a heater on the pipes downstairs to keep them from freezing!
I know how you feel. Our ice storm in Michigan in 2003 left us without power for seven days. We could'nt even leave the house for three days because of falling limbs and trees. But from inside loking out it sure is beautiful! Mother Nature at her best!!!
That's the beauty God let's us see and feel in peace, imagine all the people at war.....they can't see the beauty of the snow, smell the pureness of the breeze and feel the cold on their noses. Besides the power outages...let's be thankful.
God Bless America and Mexico!!
