It was forecasted for our area and most of Ontario & Quebec were going to be smacked by an ICE STORM on December 21/22, 2013 and we sure did.
The power in our home went out after watching Saturday Night Live on the 21st. We had just been asleep for about a half hour when our power died. No biggie we thought, we were going to sleep anyways. 5am came along and Bob woke me up: "Mary!!! The power is still out and our back-up sump pump has failed!" Yikes! Jumped up, and started running around the house. Bob went outside and hooked up the generator. We were able to get some power to the sump pump, fridge and some lights. Bob was exhausted and had to go back to sleep, but I was a little nervous as to leaving a generator on unattended outside in the dark. Around 7:00-7:30am, the power came back on. I woke Bob up and he went outside to shut down the generator. He wasn't feeling so hot and went back to sleep. As the daylight started to appear outside, I walked around the house looking outside, I could see bushes in our yard loaded with ice and warping them all. I decided to go outside and look around. The lot beside us had a broken tree, everything was gorgeous with the ice glistening in the light. I decided to take some photos before the sun came out and made it all melt. I heard a window open and it was Bob, he was up. After I came inside he went outside and here are some of the shots we took. Enjoy!
Bob and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a SAFE & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We will post another blog entry in 2014! Woo!!!
