The Great Ice Strom of 2017


Here in KC we get ice storms. Our family hasn't experienced one here before but we had gone through one in Nashville and it shut the entire city down for three days. The news said we should expect 3 cm of ice or more and that we should be prepared to have the power go out. Jakob having gone through a power outage with the kids two years ago decided we should be prepared with flash lights and food. So we stalked up and waited. 

Church we preemptively cancelled, so we just hunkered down for the day. At about noon we decided to head outside to see the damage. 

 We were seriously disappointed. And while we were grateful to keep the power on, this really wasn't a big deal! The back deck was the slickest place and our drive way was completely melted.

 E was hoping to have big icicles to play with. 

 They were pretty lame. And while we would advise driving out on the roads, we most likely could have still gone to church. 

And so there you have the great ice storm of 2017! Nice try KC, but Nashville's kick your butt!
