I is for Ice storm
I planned to write about injuries today. But at about 3 this afternoon it began to rain. The rain began to freeze. I is for ice storm.
I left work a bit early with the idea of getting home before the streets got too slick. I made it. At home there was only about 1/8 inch of ice on the trees, grass, bird feeder...well, everywhere.
Ice storms are beautiful. Orienteering through an ice covered forest is a special experience. But, if too much ice accumulates on the trees the trees start falling. A couple of years ago we had a major ice storm that made some of our local O' terrain really difficult to run through.
