Storms in the Northwest
We’ve been having interesting weather up here this week. Part of what makes the storms unique is that one day it will be cold and snow will fall, then the snow will melt into slush by the end of the day and then snow will fall again the next day and then it will rain and freeze. Today there is a warm layer of air in the middle of the precipitation which means the precipitation starts off as snow, melts and then freezes again before it hits the ground. So we’ve got snow covered in ice and thick sheets of ice on everything. 
The trees are cracking and breaking under the weight of the ice. A neighbor came rang our bell and tried to tell me in broken English that he was concerned about branches falling on our house and as he spoke, I saw (and heard) two branches fall from the tops of trees in the forest that surrounds our Cul-de-sac.
I’m not the best photographer, nor do I have a super fancy camera, but I think you can get the idea from these pictures.
