Frozen World

We had another storm this past weekend.  After a week of the weather forecasters telling us all kinds of stories about how bad it was going to be it arrived.  We started with snow on Friday and Saturday.  Without too much accumulation.  But on Sunday we had all different kinds of weather.  Went from snow, to sleet, to freezing rain and then snow.  At one point we lost power.  Thankfully it was just for a couple of hours.  The kids enjoyed the time by reading books, chasing each other and playing hide and seek in the house.  On Monday the sun was out, which made all of the trees glisten and sparkle.  So I took a few minutes to capture some of the beauty within the ice.  

While we haven't had the 2 to 4 feet snows like family and friends, Kansas City has gotten it's fair share of snow and ice this year.  Here you can see a little bud at the end of the branch.  Hopefully that means that winter is on its way out and spring is stopping by for a visit.
