Snow Ice delay day!

My, things certainly do change quickly around here. By 4 this morning what had started out as a 2-hour delay last night had changed to the cancellation of school entirely. Needless to say, there was much rejoicing around these here parts.

It's not a snow day though. Instead we've got a nice crop of ice going. Oh, well, I wouldn't be out there throwing snowballs anyway! I've got homework to do.

Scenes from the ice palace:



If you look beneath the flag in that one picture, you can see a branch that fell off my neighbor's tree. It doesn't look like much in the picture, but it made a very loud cracking noise as it fell.
