No, I'm not talking about the play. I'm talking about the situation we are in over here in the Midwest, especially in Cincinnati. And the ice is already here. With the huge winter storm we've had over the past few days, daily life has changed for a lot of people.
For me working from home is an option at times, and it does save me the trip of getting caught into absurd driving related traffic delays. But I do like getting out of the house, as being at home causes distractions.
Well with the way things are right now, stepping out of the house gives you the feeling that you have stepped into something new. The tree branches are all ice filled (at least a 0.5-1 in. glaze) giving the look as if they are from some alien world. The beauty of these glistening arbores are a sight to behold, especially with the sun rays glowing through them. The beautiful reddish hue from the sunset makes even more of an impact as you witness this part of our nature's infinite allure.
But not all is fine and wondrous as it seems. The ice on the trees are causing many of the surrounding elements to be destroyed. House and car insurance claims are up. Tragically a 10 year old girl died while walking her dog, as huge tree branch fell on her. And power lines being down, have left thousands of people without electricity for days. It might even be by next week when that problem is sorted out. What makes it even worse is that we have sub-freezing temperatures keeping the ice intact, and also we are expecting more snow over the weekend.
Yipeeeeeee....more snow and ice to shovel! FYI...you people on the East Coast, enjoy as it's on your way! :P
