Ice Storm

A quote from KSDK, "It was 29 years ago to the day [January 30] that the News Channel 5 viewing area was his with a snowstorm that left 13.9" of snow in St. Louis and some areas with more than two feet. Now another and potentially bigger storm is headed this way."

The weather forecasters were saying this could be the snow of '82 and the ice of '06. Watch out world!

"Snowmegeddon 2011"
"Snowpocalyse"
Many other names were given...

Regardless what you call it, this was quite a blizzard in the midwest.

School closed for three days in a row.


Waterloo didn't get the snow that was predicted, but boy did we get the ice!



My driveway...I had to iceskate to the mailbox!


A bush in my front yard

Same bush, another angle
 
Look at this!


My plant is encased in ice


One of the evergreens in my backyard

The photo doesn't give it justice.  This weeping willow was sparkling in the sun...so pretty!

more crunchy grass (aka "exploding grass")

Wow!! What great pictures! I kept looking out my window for some good ice covered plants but nothing compared to yours!
