22/12: Ice Storm

We've been having a lot of winter weather the last couple of weeks and it only officially became winter yesterday. Hope this means spring will come early as well.
A huge ice storm hit southern Ontario yesterday. Only the edge of the storm reached the Walkerton area, so we did not receive as much damage as other areas in southern Ontario.
About a 1/2 inch of rain froze on everything. It was good exercise but not fun chipping the ice off the driveway. Luckily we went out during the warmest part of the day and were able to get all of the ice off the driveway. Just in time for the next snow fall.
A port in any storm will do. Zaph loves snow but is not enjoying this hard crunchy stuff. If he doesn't go through the snow then it's slippery and hard to walk on, if he goes through the snow then it sharp and hard against the legs. He just can't win. The leaves under the canoe looked like a good spot to rest.
The trailer looks very sad, it would be happier looking in Texas.
The ice on the trees really sparkled with the Christmas lights.
We have two strings of blue lights, one going up each pole. The ice is doing a good job of reflecting it making it look like a blue spot light is shining on the house.
