Doom and gloom (had been projected for days, and it arrived just in time to cancel mom and dad's flight and strand them in the 'Burg for an extra day (which ended up being 3 days, since the airport didn't reopen as expected on Saturday, and then so many people were backed up that getting everyone on flights was a challenge). The kids loved it, of course, and we greatly enjoyed our extra "found" time with them! Cora went outside to check out the sleet and ice and snow as soon as it stopped coming down, and James waited until bedtime to go play. It was really slick out there (Buster slipped a few times) and there was no way we could have driven up the driveway to go anywhere - good thing we had plenty of food and wine already at the house!)
(even the ravine behind our house was iced over)
Icicles!
Christmas lights under the thin layer of sleet/snow...
...we didn't have a White Christmas, but the lights were still up, so why not take a photo!
The next day brought the opportunity to crack through the ice in the pond...
Check out the map of snow/ice in the south... no wonder everything shut down for a few days!
