Northwest Storm of the Century!...or so they say...

The Storm of the Century has come and gone!  We were all home for the entire week...Eldon and I worked from home and Landon had snow days for the entire week!  Our power went out for a number of hours on Thursday...but we were lucky enough to have it come back on.  There are families in our ward that are still without power, so were have been able to enjoy the weather....




 If you look close, it started to rain and freeze ontop of the ice, which then made the landscape look really cool, with ice drops on top of the ice....


 ice drops....

 Eldon had Landon climb into one of our trees to cut down the damaged limbs.  He had the chainsaw attached to a rope which they put over a limb, Eldon would hold onto the rope in case Landon fell or slipped....that way it kept the chainsaw from falling with or on Landon if he fell or slipped.  Clever idea they learned from some other "tree chainsaw climbers".
Side note:  Eldon and Landon worked for over 5 hours at the church building helping clean up the broken limbs from the trees on the church property.  

Snow has been replaced by rain and is now gone...it never lasts too long around here.
Somebody needs to help me upload videos.....!  :)
