Ice Storm Pictures

Hi everyone, im fine and thank you for thinking of us.
We lost power @ 7:45 on friday morning and got it back late this afternoon. We too, were told it would be 3-5 days before we got power back but they had it back on after only 33-35 hours. I'm extremely grateful!!

The ice was intense and brutal, I took pictures as it unfolded so you'll get an idea of what it was like in my area.
I can only pray are M.I.A. DG friends are fairing well.

This was Friday afternoon around 3 pm on my hackmatack

another.....

My poor, poor tree, she's leaning from the weight.

It was getting thicker by the hour.

Looking out the door window.

This is my holly on the side of the house.

Closer look...

One of my lilac tree's.

Rosemary, was still good up until yesterday.

Rose bush

The next door neighbor's weeping willow.

Oh my gosh Pixie! beautiful photos, but that's nasty ice. They say we might get something similar over the next few days. I hope not.

It stopped raining around 8 - 9pm and moon was so bright! I went out and took a night shot...just cause I could see so well!

I hope you don't!!!

Hopefully there weren't many car accidents and everyone has power (not likely, but we can hope)

Sunrise this morning was beautiful even though I knew that lots of damage was coming with that beauty. I enjoyed the beauty of it for those few moments and then I took a ride to survey the damage of my small town. I was also in search of a cup of coffee! lol

You can clearly see the tree's on these power lines.

A few of the tree's that glittered like diamonds.

A bit closer..

Just to heavy for the white birch tree's.

........

Lots of leaning or broken tree's. Please excuse the blurred spot on the right of the pictures. It seems I was just a clicking fool and didn't realize I had gotten a drop of snow/ice on it. DUH!

Lots of this.

A few berries

Close up

Pretty but devasting.

beautiful... thank you for the pictures

I sure hope that you save some of those pixie. Some of those would be great for the photo contest! Hopefully you found your cup o' joe!!!

If anyone else has pictures please feel free to post.
Mainiac another DG had quite a bit of damage and excitement in her yard down in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. You can see a link to her pictures here:

The damage here was pretty bad!! still do not have electricity - wife decided to use my Marriott points for the next few days till the juice comes back. thursday night was like living through shock and awe. thought we were dead ducks!

Your most welcome LhasaLover.

I did Shelly..drove into town for some Dunkin Donuts, figured i desreved it!! lol

Awe, I'm so sorry!

it take two pics to see the whole thing. This fell over a bed that had a new jm orangeaola, wolf's eye dw, and crap apple.

Just missed this bush!

some how it missed the JM organgeola!!

this stone got flattened - behing it is the wolf's eye dogwood

Glad everyone is okay. The pics are beautiful, even with the destruction.
Glad you found your joe, too. I like their pumpkin donuts.

closer look - it lost a couple branches - i think it will be ok!

standing in the middle of the hickory - here is the crap - lost some branchs too - will trim it and hope for the best - was not a favorite, liked the blooms - the tree form not so much.

Hopefully it will bounce back!
