This morning I pulled out of the garage and drove a mile and a half and I could totally not see anything through the window in the car.  I had to stop and let the car heater warm up the glass and that took ten minutes.  As you can see we had an Ice Storm.  Took this about ten thirty.  


I went out a little after seven tonight and took these.  It is still coming down some.  Our parking pad looks bare but it is so smooth you can't walk across it.  I was hopping for a semi or larger truck to come by with lights at different heights, would have been cool.


Changed the color temp a little on this shot.  The other are normal shots. The ice is close to being a half inch thick.  The news tonight said this is the ninth ice storm since 1960 and the 4th thickest.  Kind of rare they said. 


We were suppose to had some snow out of this.  We have three storms coming Friday through the weekend.

Thursday night it began to snow and by the end of Friday we had a foot of new snow.  The air was clean and the temperature highs stayed in the single digits where its been a lot the last couple of weeks.  From our view it was like a new world untouched. 

Sunday we had strange tracks all over our yard and pasture.  Strange looking tracks.  I'm going to  follow them and see whats making these strange tracks.

I found the track maker.  It was Ben on his 4 wheeler pulling a Kayak behind him.  Lincoln telling Ben where to go and how fast and Albany, Savanna, Jack and Sara on the sled. 

Afton, Savanna, Lincoln, Jack and Megan having a fun time even with the temperature at 4 degrees most of the kids stayed out about an hour or more.  Some tough Kids.

Even with the cold, smiles were everywhere.

Not sure whats happening here but at least Chris's cheeks are warm.
