Saw several places with wires still down laying across the raods (mostly telephone & cable, the electric wires are quickly dealt with).
Here at home we still have plenty of ice, but the sun warmed it up today so it was bearable to be outdoors. Even my dog enjoyed the sunlight
- the tree branches are usually well above the bird feeder, the ice & snow has them really drooping!
A view of my property from the intersection (the house in the center is where I did live but rent out now, I live in the house on the far left)
And a shot of the typical condition of what the secondary (town streets & township & county highways) look like today.
Looks like a cold night ahead, and not above freezing again tomorrow, but Sunday may bring high enough temperatures to get rid of a lot of the ice, then back to sub-freezing for a few days.
I made it out for a walk on the farm I hunt today, and there is a lot of limbs down and treetops broken out. The landowner took the tractor and got to my deer feeder this morning and filled it with corn - the songbirds were having a feast! Unfortunately, I left my camera at home.
At least I'll have plenty of fishing lures made, and sinkers cast for the summer's fishing if this weather stays this way.
Nothing better than firing up the wood stove in my shop and working on projects like that in this weather - even ordered a new pellet pistol yesterday so I can take a break and plink a few rounds into my indoor target while I'm working (if you call lure making, sinker & bullet casting, and arrow & string making work).
