Welcome February and ice

We've had a lot of extremely cold weather and quite a bit of snow so far this winter, but February decided to come strolling in with a special treat for us...ICE!  Hopefully it will melt soon so we can get around without slipping and falling!  I think the dogs would also prefer not to skate their way out to the yard to go potty ;-)

Our skating rink of a driveway and street.

Icy branches.

This picture of the deck railing best shows how thick it is.

Branches down in the yard.

Poor pups have to maneuver this to get to the yard.  Hopefully it got roughed up enough by their nails and isn't too horrible.
