Oh What a day!

Well it started as snow on thursday night...so pretty and we knew that we would get a dump. It all changed by friday morning ..Ice pellets and then freezing rain. Last night it was pour rain ....not just a little but the kind you get when a thunderstorm blows through...yucky!
Everyone made it to school and work, and I cancelled my appointments in town. I was staying home, not worth driving on the roads. So here are some snap shots from around the yard
The ice on the wires coming into the house
The deck railing, coated in a sheath of ice

My hydrangea bush

and the ice on the tarped shelter in the back yard

Today the freezing rain has stopped (Thank you!) And we have a ton of shovelling to do. Mike is out plowing the driveway for the neighbour and then he will get the 6 inches of slush off the drive way. Hopefully this is the last of it....Please! We would probably have about 2 feet of snow if it had just snowed....I like snow!! Rain in the winter...hmmmmm...not so much
