As you may know from the new there is a major ice storm "wreaking havoc" in the Midwest and east coast. Kansas is lucky enough to be the dead center of the Midwest so we are getting pounded with the storm. I took these pictures in my backyard this morning. Jason said on his slow drive to work there were tree branches and bushes down all over the place. All of our trees are luckily still standing right now. I thought it was really pretty how the ice encased every single branch and blade of grass. Our whole yard is flooded and Jason said all the streets are flooded with little islands where the road is visible. Last night on the news they said we were going to get an inch of ice and the storm is supposed to continue on with another on the way. Oh the adventures we will have with new weather we've never experienced!

Wow, that is very pretty but looks oh so cold. Does having your backyard flooding affect your house at all? Hope Jason stays safe driving around in that.
So far it hasn't affected our house. All the houses in Kansas are built with a sump pump which will pump out any water that starts getting near the house.
I experienced one of these while in Texas. However, in Texas, everyone stays home until things thaw out. They used to try to go to work but the accident rate went up so high that employers literally started to encourage people to be smart and wait til later in the day when things would begin to thaw. I don't know if you will be thawing out anytime soon.
Prayers that Jason stays safe driving in it and that you aren't affected adversely from the new storm that is brewing.
Oh yeah Stef....loved the pictures. You did a great job taking them. I love the icycle trees.
I can't belive all that ice!
