Ice is Nice

Last night marked another "weird-weather" in the Big D.
We jump from 70's to 40's to 20's within hours.
And this is what we woke up to.
A 5am phone call from the ISD telling us school was cancelled.
And that all surrounding county/government offices were closed.
Among millions of other companies and schools.

Sydney and Emma both asked if we could go outside and ice skate.
1st of all...no we don't have any ice skates.
2ndly...we need a pond for that.

Which then Sydney asked,
"Can't we just skate on the driveway?"
(I love how they think it's the same as rollerskating, just with ice)

Piles of ice gathered in the grass

Ice-sickles formed off the garbage cans

We couldn't even see out of the windows because there was sooo much ice collected on the screens

If you look closely there's about a 1/2 inch layer of ice on the brick ledge

This is the back side of our house.
It won't be melting any time soon.
It rarely sees the sun during the winter.

And lastly, a FULL sheet of ice I peeled off of the trashcans.
