Ice Storm 2005
January 9th, 2005
Well.. hopefully it will be the only ice storm (otherwise known as freezing rain) of 2005, so that the title will stay relevant.
The Kansas City area got covered with a 1/2 inch of ice on January 5th. Everything was beatifully shiney, but also very slippery. I worked from home that day (as did most people I think) but was able to go in the next day. I think I have heard that some people are still without power. Trees limbs are down all over due to the weight of the ice.
This storm isn’t as bad as the one they had right before I came out for an interview. They got an inch of ice everywhere and thousands were without power for up to 3 weeks. Seems like we get one a year (last years was 1/4 inch or so).
Anyway… took a bunch of pictures of some ice covered trees and stuff and posted them up on flickr for all to enjoy. So.. enjoy!!
