These photos were taken today from either inside the house, or just one step out the front door. Due to the thick sheet of ice, it was too slick for me to feel brave enough to venture further.

We are fortunate to still have electricity. Hopefully the power lines and trees will weather the rain-turned-ice.

This Cranberry Cotoneaster bush is from the same group of bushes that I posted about in December. (Click photo to enlarge.)
