Ice storm 2013

Over the weekend we were hit with a couple days of freezing rain. Everything ended up coated in about an inch of ice: trees, sidewalks, cars...

While out walking the dog I snapped a few photos. The first photo is of the tree outside our house. We actually lost power for most of Sunday afternoon and tens of thousands are still without power in Toronto, and may continue to be through to Christmas. Thankfully the city has plans in place to deal with the emergency.

I was staring at the tree branches, thinking they would make a pretty twisted stitch pattern on some socks.
