This is what we have been calling: The Leaning Tower of Pine.
The poor pine tree couldn't take the weight of the snow and wind.
Even after shoveling and scraping, these are our snow piles. And they just continue to grow and grow.
Wednesday night, we got a mixture of rain and snow and so these two plants show what happens. I have to admit, that I just think these frozen isicle branches are just gorgeous, but can only hope they don't break off from the weight of the ice.
And as luck would have it, our power went out. 255,000 homes lost power due to trees knocking down power lines or the weight of snow pulling them down. After the morning of huddling around our gas fireplace, we headed to our local Embassy Suites for warmth, swimming, and tv. Fortunately, our electricity went back on late that night, as PSE was forecasting electricity outages well into the weekend. Sadly, there are still people without it. So grateful that ours was turned back on sooner than later.
