We had an ice storm last night. I thought I would share some of the pics from it. Mother Nature can be INCREDIBLE!
These are pics we took this afternoon. My oldest UNFORTUNATELY had to go to her college to check on a science experiment she is doing. There were SO many roads that were closed off by the city to remove the down trees, huge limbs and downed power lines….There were police EVERYWHERE. Traffic lights were just off. Leaving people to figure out how to navigate through 4 lanes of stupefied drivers. They were actually baffled by the loss of the traffic lights.
I would have LOVED to have taken more pics. However, you could hear LOUD cracks and crackling everywhere as the branches of trees and power lines were giving way to the weight of the ice. I thought it was a MUCH wiser idea for me to get the kids home safely.

This is by my daughters college. The entire are was covered in fallen tree limbs
My dogs’ bone they left in on the porch. It MUST taste so much better after it has seasoned.
More branches down in my yard.

This is a row of trees that are now bending slightly from the ice.
This is a tree with just too much weight on it’s shoulders!

This is a local park.
These pics were shared on a Frederick County, MD website. We were already warned against going downtown this afternoon as most of the roads were closed off.
We saw a lot of this today.
Local coffee house had some damage that forced them to remain closed today.
