Ice Storm Dec 2013

The weekend before Christmas, southern Ontario was hit with a ice storm. It was crazy to see everything covered with a layer of ice. We were very fortunate as we were not effected by the power outages that occurred across the city; streets on either side of us were out for days but we were spared.  We actually had friends stay at our house as their power (and heat!) was out for four days. The big trees on both sides of us were damaged and again we were fortunate that neither us or our neighbours experienced property damage or any personal injury. In the picture the snow looks soft and fluffy but it is hard ice and weeks later it continued to remain 'unplayable'. For over a week after the holidays Micah's school cancelled recess due to the school yard being one big ice rink. Although it was beautiful and made being outside miserable and treacherous.
