Watching the Storm

12/21/2013

3 Comments

 
Found a cute little snow globe with a Teddy Santa earlier this week. The girls love 
watching it snow in there, as they dream of a white Christmas outside.

I don't know about a "white Christmas" anymore. Earlier this week they were forecasting 20 to 30 cm of snow with the storm coming in tonight, but now we are in for a major ice storm instead. We had a bit of freezing rain last night already, and everything was covered with a thin layer of ice, so we went out to do all our last minute Christmas shopping right after our granddaughters left at noon. Good thing too, as by two the roads and malls were PACKED. Got everything done though, and now we are all set to see what happens with this big storm. They are forecasting 20 to 30 mm of ice on everything by the time it's all over. Hopefully we don't lose too many trees - or power. It could be a sparkly diamond wonderland out there by this time tomorrow - or at least on Monday when we are back in the deep freeze and the sun is supposed to come out again.

Oh what a darling photo of them both and I love their plaid Santa hats!

But the ice storm sounds scary. I so hope most of the trees survive too and *fingers crossed* about the power lines holding too.
Keep warm and keep safe ((hugs))

An ice storm is when it rains but it's below freezing. The rain freezes onto everything, covering everything with a layer of ice. The longer it goes, the thicker the ice gets, and weighs down the trees and hydro wires, which them start to break under the weight.
