It had only snowed a couple inches when it turned to freezing rain, and everything got a 1/2" layer of solid ice.
If the wind had picked up or if it had cooled a couple of degrees and turned back to snow, the extra weight would have brought a lot of trees and lines down.
Luckily it went the other way. The wind laid a little and it warmed a couple degrees, turned back to rain, and melted most the ice off during the night.
We were prepared for worse, but we're glad it wasn't.
I had filled and ran the generators the day before, plus had extra fuel and propane laid by in preparation.
It has definitely been a good couple days to stay indoors though. Finally took time to wipe down the guns, sharpen some steel, and oil up the boots.
