Arkansas Winter Storm

During the day on Friday HSV (east side) had about 0.5" of freezing rain/ice/sleet followed by about 0.5" of snow on Friday night. We stayed at home and didn't try to get out. I think one truck ventured down our road during the day. We also didn't have any mail delivery - I'm sure the roads were simply too treacherous.

The ice did build-up on the pine trees. Many had sagging branches - especially the small pine trees.The ice also built up on the grass. Sam enjoyed walking through the ice/snow. He also had fun eating "grasscicles." Tasty!Our house and yard are nice and white. The small Japanese lantern in the front looks pretty with the icicles hanging down.We kept our bird feeders full. The birds were very hungry. In this photo, a male cardinal waits his turn in a bush near the seed feeder.We're staying warm and thinking about Spring.
