Seems as if we dodged the big ice storm bullet. Temperatures are rising and the snow and ice covered branches are shedding themselves of their crystal clear shrouds. lots of noise out there as the ice and branches hit each other and then hit the ground with a boom.
So much to watch from the windows. The big ice pellets and the neighbors utility poll on fire. must be a branch hung up and smoking like crazy. ( i tried to call the electric co. 1/2 a dozen times and never got through. We'll Save some drama for later).
We have sprung several leaks that we never had before as the ice dams on the roof are melting and refreezing. Looks like lots of additional repairs for the spring (if it gets here), and the summer. All in all it is not bad. I and the dogs are warm, dry and fed. While the electricity has blinked out several times, it continues to come back on. so we have power and more importantly, HEAT.
Puxatawny Phil saw no shadow this morning which translates into an early spring. while i don't necessarily believe or disbelieve him, it is a PA tradition to watch and wonder. we sure could use an early spring.
Tea time....
