Ice everywhere. I've been stuck at home for two days. Even the poor scrub jays have ice on their tail feathers. Fallen trees and tree llimbs abound. At least we still have power here. Called an arborist about my tree, but I still gotta go clear some limbs from the side walk. The temperatures are supposed to get quite above freezing today, so hopefully this will be the last of it for a bit.

Aaah! Christmas time in the Portland area!

I was outside when a neighbor's tree limb snapped off. Scared the poo out of me, and it was a small one. I don't know how I slept through the large one that snapped off my tree. My mother (who lives in a different part of town) is telling me she's been hearing booms, seeing flashes, and watching tree limbs catch on fire across power lines.

We just had a couple trees removed from our property. There's no danger from ice/snow, but these trees have been dead for years.
