ice storm

Ali and Shadrach are playing in the snow but also trying to save our trampoline. There was about four inches of ice on it and the weight of the ice I think made it bend. I went out there with a mop ( I know a MOP??? but it worked really well, I was afraid a shovel would rip it)and pounded it as hard as I could for about 20 min. Then Ali and Shadrach took turns braking chunks off and throwing theme off. Shadrach is under the trampoline trying to break some of the ice with his feet so Ali can get more off. This proved to be fun for them to do and kept theme busy for a loooong time.
This was the day before when there was really only Snow cover in ice. Shadrach and his best friend, Tyler, went ice skating in the back yard.

We have no garage. It makes me sooooo sad on days like this. Our cars get stuck so easily because we park them next to the street. When the snow plows come by they just push all the snow back over your car. If you park on the snow, and it melts just a little and then refreezes at night, your tires are now trapped in the groove. Our Neighbor had to pull us out with his truck because there was no way to get though that ice.
