Show and Tell Ice Storm 2008


Show and Tell

This week for Show and Tell I am bringing pictures of the ice storm we've been having up here in Maine. I haven't had an opportunity to post for a few days due to the fact that we had no power for 48 hours. We had to stay with my parents because our house has no heat with no power- stinking electric pilot on our monitor heater! We were lucky though- no damage to the house, the pipes didn't freeze, and the trees that fell missed our house!

Glad you didn't have any major damage. Hope that all is well now.

Wow...that tree came so close. I'm glad you came out of it all with little or no damage. Stay warm and safe.

Glad there was no damage caused by that tree. It looks like a big one.

Now you have plans for warmer weather! Tree clean-up! Hooray!

I'm glad to hear that you had a warm place to stay and no damage. We've had some nice ice storms/wind storms in my area over the last couple years and they certainly suck.

Whew! A little too close for comfort, eh? Hope everything is settled down again.

Holy COW that's ICE! We got ice last night with a 50 degree temp drop!

About the ribbon, you get wired ribbon (I bought mine at Sam's Club) and cut 6 or so streamers about 3 feet longer than your tree. You wire them to the top of the tree and tuck them in along the branches. Make a bow for the top and viola!
