We had a quick and nasty little ice storm overnight. It's all on the melt now, but only after coating everything with a serious sheet of ice. The hickory tree lost a major chunk around 3:30am as Laura stood at the windows. The wind was flinging chunks of ice from the trees against the front windows, which woke us.

The tree seems to have slid down the edge of the roof and rolled over the corner of the deck, with no real damage to either. Those bushes that it flattened are another story.

There's lots of other bent and broken trees, but nothing major, as we still have electricity.

Ah, winter.
