Nope, this is definitely not snow. Roughly four inches of solid ice is completely covering the ground. Neighbors are giving their kids trashcan lids and laundry baskets to slide down hills and driveways. Austin, Liz and the kids have come over for the weekend, Mitchell was excused from work and we're making an ice party out of it. :) Poor Derek has a nasty ear infection and can't go outside til we get him to an urgent care center on Monday for some antibiotics. He's such a trooper managing with some pain meds, a hot pack and as many movies as he wants. He keeps begging to go out in the "snow" but no matter how many times we watch Isaac and Andrew slipping, sliding and taking some pretty nasty falls, he just isn't fazed.
The cows were pretty chilly but it was great fun to watch them slipping and sliding to and from the frozen water trough.
Pretty icicles on the rose bushes
Deceptively fluffy looking
The poor little Japanese Maple tree. It took quite a beating.
