Ice Storm 2009

This is a little overdue. I wanted to share some of the fun times of the Ice Storm we had in 2009. We had electricity so we had a family from our ward stay with us Daniel and the kids had SOOOOO much fun dipping icecicles in strawberry lemonade powder! The pic of the windshield is a little deceiving, it was 3 inches, we measured it!



Also, I got a few pics of the "aftermath" at one of MANY locations in NW ARK where they are dealing with all the broken trees. Many locations are burning the remenants. However, most are mulching and hauling off wood chips. The mountains of chips are amazing. Note the pic with the SEMI TRUCK next to the pile for the true size.

I was so excited to see an update that I posted my comment in the wrong spot. The previous comment is in reference to the botanical gardens. Not the Mulch Mountains...although we could probably have fun there too...beat you to the top!
