The terrible ice storm Jan -
Feb 2009 -- We lost power and water for 10 days.
 |
|
3 days of crashing trees
all around us and everywhere in the woods.
 |
|
The house is ok, but
we don't know how we will clean up all the trees as they
are broke way up in the tops.
 |
|
The tops of our 4
large trees are gone.
|
|
All the large cedars
broke bad.
|
|
Every single twig,
blade of grass and wire was covered like this. Our
pastures looked like fat glass grass. I have never
seen anything like this.

|
There are
huge branches just stuck up in the tree tops.

All the wild birds stayed with the chickens in the
hen house. It was full of birds. They
had food and water in there and actually was pretty
smart of them to go in there.
 |
|
We had to get out the outdoor wood cook stove to
melt ice for water for all the stock. By
morning, the stock tanks were half froze again, and
we had to start over. We even got the ice off
the metal roofs to melt for water. It started
to melt and drip several days later and we caught
the water coming off the roofs. When that ran
out, we had to go to the bottom of the hill and haul
water from the neighbor.

Ice starting to
melt and fall like bullets, branches falling
