Floods . . then freezes.

My sister does it deliberately each winter for her boys to skate on, She builds it up layer by layer so it is solid ice, safer than skating on a pond.

I know it STINKS, because I live up north in Rhinelander. Ha-Ha! At least it gives me the perfect excuse to work on my business, since it’s way too frozen, cold and yukky to do anything else.:!:

Lisa- I watch for your weather reports because usually MI gets your conditions within 48 hours. What a mess! This has been the oddest week in a long time. Are your trees (schrubs) going to make it? We have flood warnings in our area. The rivers are up!

It is raining in Florida…. yesterday it was 87. 87 is just not right for January

Looks about like our driveway did for around a week. That inch of freezing rain was NOT nice!

Pam - they’re little evergreens - and I hope they’ll make it! It’s still frozen solid down there .. poor little things.

Weather is flipping cold! I don’t mind cold, but waking up and running out to start the truck because it’s 15 below before I hop into the shower is just no good! At least I’ve chipped most of the ice off the deck, at least the new deck.
