I promised ice pics and hadn’t gotten them posted yet... notice how bent the branches are.

We can typically drive DH’s truck under this tree!

Ice on the buck pen gate.

This branch is normally over the 6 foot fence with no problem and touched the ground without breaking!!! We’d have lost our just finished buck pen if the limb had broken.

Some coated grass.

Another view of the tree with the limb touching the ground in the buck pen.

We still have a few chickens in a dog kennel. I couldn’t get in their pen. The tarp over the top had ripped enough for me to dump some feed in. I hope to finish moving them soon.

Only fence damage that we found. Gate from yard to main cattle pasture that DH used to put out hay.

Oak tree next to house. Normally I can’t reach the branches when standing on the ground.

Ornamental cherry tree (?) outside the garage.

First year my now ex husband and I moved into the house I kept after the divorce, we had an ice storm here. Power went out about midnight and I kept hearing these loud noises. Couldnt figure out what the noise was until morning. The noise were tree branches snapping from the weight of the ice. Couple ended up blocking the road. We were without power for about two weeks. We had a propane heater we would cook on. Took a little longer but it worked.
Did your power go out? Hope you feel better soon.

I have said that I know they make for some beautiful pictures but I know there is a lot of cleanup coming.

@Rammy our power was out for just over 72 hrs. I heard the transformer blow. We are the only service on our line so getting us back up wasn’t a priority.

I could hear popping, cracking, and limbs hitting the ground when I was out. I can only assume that most were in the creek pasture where there are several dead trees anyway.

Ice like that is pretty ... but you can KEEP IT!

Hope y'all can heal up from all the sickness pretty quick. Nobody needs to be dealing with that this time of year.

I was on a steroid induced mania for about 24 hrs and felt amazing. It’s since worn off and I feel horrible again. Trying to rest so my body can heal...
