Snowpocolypse 2014, The Sequel

Little did they know that when they woke up, they would find....

 MORE SNOW!!! For being a winter with such little precipitation, it's amazing how much of the frozen, white varietal has found its way to our valley floor. 

It made for another fun snow day and awesome snow play, until....

 ... the ice storm part of the freaky weather show kicked in: 

   It was beautiful, but it wreaked havoc on our city: downed wires, tree limbs raining down all over the place, the booming sound of trees snapping and crashing. It was eerie. And really cool in that humbling way that only Mother Nature can deliver...

We got away pretty unscathed-- our backyard is a sea of smaller branches. Only one really big guy fell and got caught up in the tree limbs and is sort of dangling there ominously. So, no backyard play time until that's dealt with! Two hour delay at school tomorrow and then, goddesses willing, back to some sense of (dare I say it?) normalcy.
