2026 Snowmaggeddon Day #4

We've had sleet. 

We've had snow. 

We've had freezing rain. 

We've had more snow.

Yesterday, we had a bit of dripping off the roof that re-froze onto the handrails and porch.

I have lived through storms before that were bad. I don't know that this is any worse but, boy, it is different! I haven't seen anything quite like it.

The sun caused some dripping off the roof yesterday. Here is a close up of how it would drip over thje edge of the gutter and freeze.


Once it dripped down onto the handrail, it would freeze and the icicle almost reached the step below.


Lights and plants at the foot of the front porch steps were encased in ice. Notice the icicle hanging off the front of the handrail.


Some of the roof icicles got really thick with the dripping. I am just amazed.


Lots of the trees are bent over. Some of them are even touching the ground. It is a pretty sight as long as I can just step out onto the porch and take a quick photo and come right back into the warm house.




The fencing is also beautiful so long as I'm just clicking a quick shot and scurrying back inside!



Our power lines are still encased in ice. We are some of those fortunate ones who have had power the entire time. The power flickered off a couple of times but it was not long.


The Mister and I have talked about this several times and how we have not seen anything like this before in our memory.
