weird storm

Yesterday as I was coming home, I looked up the hil, at the trees. It looked like there was a mist on them, a fog. but it was ice. Nice, not too much like to break limbs and take out power. Just enough to have a glint. As I drove over the hill, on my side of it, there was no ice on the trees. weird. Today when I drove back over, going to work, sure nuff, the other side had the ice. and what looked like shards of glass on the ground underneath, the ice falling off the trees. Coming home, almost the same deal. not as much ice low on the hill, but up the hill there was still ice on trees, while the rest of the world was drying up. And piles of shards at the base of the trees. weird.

So kids are in Caribbean, and lo… there is a tropical storm. Went right over where they were to be today. From the web cam, the boat never docked, and the pics in the afternoon made me believe that there are a number of not so happy people on the boat. pretty large waves, and lots of rain. Tomorrow they are in St Thomas. So that will be better I hope. Boy… a storm this late, who’d thought that would happen huh? poor kids… yeah right
