Merry Christmas?

I was sitting on the couch with the cats and heard a loud crack followed by a big thud. We all jumped. I looked out the door and this big tree limb was laying on the chair on the deck and had bent the metal frame. It was actually the top of the tulip tree next to the deck.

The trees were really bending from the weight of the ice.

Erin and I took a few pictures from the lower level patio but stayed under cover at all times because it was so scary.

The ground was becoming littered with limbs.

My favorite mountain laurel was bending.

This snapped-off tree was a sourwood.
