We get them from time to time here in the Midwest, but snow is much more prevalent. I hope it warms up for you quickly, and acts more seasonal for you!

I haven't tried it, but her results were stunning. Portland used to have big ice storms every few years, but that was before I started gardening.

So far limbs are hanging on (knock on wood!) They are trying with all their might to fight the weight, you can feel the strain! We did wake to fresh snow, but hopefully the worst is over.

Once the rain stops will head back out for some updates. The Magnolia is especially interesting at the moment, I can see it from inside, if it were not for the fence I would have lost limbs on it by now for sure. Its still so glazed over with ice. Well the weatherman said it would've melted by now..so he's back to his usual ways..PolkaDotGalosheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082105347866101606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531935909912747730.post-56358208171563352412012-01-20T09:21:05.943-08:002012-01-20T09:21:05.943-08:00Thanks Karin, I'm just trying to stay positive...Thanks Karin, I'm just trying to stay positive and grateful that at least we still have power!!

It was a little thicker than in your images (although you've got PLENTY!) and it was awful. It broke tree limbs worse than a windstorm. All night I could hear the limbs falling around our house. So if they hang on they will be fine.

I'm just hoping the trees can take another day of this before it warms up again.
