Snow and then silver freeze

 We had a doozy of a week here in Washington. First we got a big snow storm... accumulation of about 6 inches of snow. So we missed 2 days of school because of snow. So we made a few snow men and I got a workout in shoveling the driveway.

Then the freezing rain came and set us into a silver thaw which caused major power outages from trees falling. We lost power at our house from Thursday to Sunday morning. Some people went longer. It was weird having the top layer of snow look like water. We missed 2 more days due to no power.

This is the amount of ice we got on the tree in the front of the house.

We finally got back to normal this week and then we got a big wind storm last night. A few of our friends lost power again for the day today. We are so grateful that we have a generator which kept us warm and entertained during our power outage. I do have to say  I am ready for a beach...Eimi can we join you guys??
