rats and mice away. He will have a new job description when his
contract expires. |

| Desert Willow - bending not broken yet |
 |
| Crape Myrtle ok but Bird of Paradise tree took a hit |
 |
| Volunteer Desert Willow - by the way, that is all ice not snow |
 |
| Texas Red Oak is usually much taller when it isn't weighed down with ice |
 |
| Yikes, the Oleander is completely bent over and the little gazebo? well, this was taken right before the weight of the ice collapsed it |

It's all ice from the sleet - no snow here at all. Since we won't get above freezing until Monday (maybe), damage won't be apparent for a while.
The good news is that I have a gas fireplace and gas usually isn't a problem here. The bad news is the short power outages and thankfully, they've all been 5 minutes or less.
Sure glad I have battery candles.
Updated title as some think ICEMAGEDDON was last year?
That red oak is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAs cold as it's been here, I do believe it looks even more frigid at your house. Stay Warm!

I just saw some drips from the icicles - it isn't supposed to get above freezing but I'll take the drips one at a time.
