The ice storm was pretty bad it lasted three days, we had periods of freezing rain-ice-sleet-ice and then it warmed up a little, just enough to get out and start cleaning up. In town there are streets that were closed because of fallen trees, large trees. I was surprised our trees didn't do as bad as others, we had a pretty large cottonwood split right in two, one of our maples lost significant limbs and our willows probably were hit the hardest. Our county was declared a disaster area. The nearby town of Columbus even had a curfew. Folks just one mile east of us across the Missouri line will be out of power for another five days they have been told. My students all were excited to get back to school, they all buzzed with stories of no power, and families coming together to help one another clear trees and check on neighbors.

We had an ice storm over the weekend....but NOT NEARLY as bad as you guys. We never lost power...and it came one evening and then warmed up...so it was gone by the next mid morning.
Lovely shots of the ice....but I'm sure it wasn't a "fun" time. Hope the bad weather stays away from you!!
The ice storm really made a mess there. I am sorry for that. It is very cold over here but it is nothing compared to that bad weather you have faced with there.
Thank you for visiting my blog and for your nice comment. I appreciate it a lot. I am only sorry that I didn’t have time to thank you earlier. I am pleasantly surprised with what I saw on your blog. It is just wonderful, full of beautiful photos in which I enjoyed while looking at them.
Great greetings from Sarajevo :-)
