late january winter storm

Just wanted to share several photos I took of the storm. Have to give props to my older brother for the suggestions of the awesome apps to work the photos with. It is really cool now that I am figuring some of them out.

Anyway, we decided to not risk the chance of power loss at our house, so we headed to Randi's folks to dodge that. They were just about 30 or so miles south-ward from our house, but it is night and day when it comes to the ice.

But Randi and I decided to test the road gods and head home this afternoon to check on the house. That is the photo of the branches on the ground below. There were two pretty good size branches that fell out of our pine tree right by Kaitlyn's room. But other than that, just snow and ice. Oh, and yes, cold! haha..

Anyway, will be heading home tomorrow morning and get the house stuff done hopefully. The roads should be ok from Sulphur to Hwy 1. But that highway is usually pretty rough, and it had its slick spots this afternoon. But that is all I have for now. Everyone stay safe out there!
