We experienced a major ice storm today. Power has been out since about 3 pm and we are running our generators. Here are some pictures I took today during the ice storm. I drove from our place to the top of Maple Hill - Terry Young's gates. It started to ice rain heavily so I did not venture out to 911 from the top of the hill. I will tomorrow and will post again. Many branches came down, but I did not see any trees on the road. I may tomorrow when I go to 911. The picture below is at John J's place where some larger branches came down. Luckily John had moved 2 snowmobiles from this spot earlier. Here is a view of the lake from our place. And a view of our place at the back. At 11 pm the temperature is registering almost 3 degrees and the wind has picked up. Ice from the branches is melting and dropping. For those that know our place with the wall of windows on the lake side, the ice from the branches hitting those windows sounds a bit scary... the dogs sure think so.
