Snow time like the present

Boris shovelled off Di's roof, a job he completed a few days before a heavy rain which was followed by an ice storm. The woods were completely glazed this morning. Thanks to the fine snipping job on the red oak, it was one of the few trees not bowed under scintillating shards. All along the English Settlement Road, the trees were bent over until they reached well into the middle of the north-bound lane. There were slippery patches on the Killarney Road hill. I'm glad I waited until 8:30 to head in. Even so, the "water over road" signs were plentiful; we'll see what it is like on the way home!
