Ice Storm





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!

  1. It looks sooo pretty - but sounds so dangerous (when you are driving). Thanks for the update - I wasn't sure if it was hitting you. Stay cozy and warm inside Stefanie and Paisley - and we hope that Jason takes it nice and slow to and from work.

  2. Yeow! That looks awesome. Ice storms are something most people may just hear about, but the Jas Cornwall's get to live. Hey... it will make it that much more nice to be in sunny So. Cal. in just over a week.
