Winter Fun
We have had just a bit of an ice storm here; not like the big one but involving a lot of hoar frost, followed by rain followed by snow followed by ominous cracks as tree branches gave way under the weight. Today we had a bit of thaw and a lot beautiful.

ReplyDeleteJust popped over from Loth - and I thought our (Scottish) snow was bad!

Hi Isabelle. Nice to meet you. In Canada, we do snow.
Kaye, about 12 hours. No problem. We have a generator hooked in to a bypass panel, just for these occasions. (the water pump needs electricity!)
Anvilcloud, you got lucky. See comment above.
Nance, sounds nice and warm to me.
