Homebound

So this is the 2nd day my office has issued "liberal leave" due to the icy weather. I got up and made an attempt this morning, was about 5 miles from home when my cell phone rang. It was my boss. He lives a few miles from me and said to turn around and go home. It had taken me about 30 minutes to go 5 miles from my house. So my usual 30 mile commute to work would have taken hours if I had continued on. It's been so cold here that the ice melt isn't working so there is a thick layer of ice on just about everything. As I was driving this morning, my windshield kept icing over due to the sleet and freezing rain. This is one of the freakiest storms I've ever witnessed. We got about 6 inches of snow sunday night into monday morning and have had freezing rain, snow and sleet off and on for the last 24 hours. More of the same is expected the rest of today.

So I was home, I was bored so what did I do? I grabbed my camera and headed outside of course...
