Winter is finally here!

   We just got back from the wonderful Men’s Advance last weekend… and again…details to follow.

Ice on the Trees

    The effects of the winter storm this morning don’t seem to be severe, but Kate’s still going to stay home since more of the storm is on its way.  Yesterday we did get some freezing rain on all of the branches (above) and when I took pictures last night there was a lot more ice on the trees. (below)

   This morning we got just enough snow to barely cover the ground and it looks like we’re getting some sleet right now.

   The real threat of this storm was that the ice would weigh too much for the power lines and we’d have a lot of power outages.  As of now, Ameren hasn’t reported any outages yet.
