Icepocalypse 2011

We whipped up that neck guard in 5 minutes with some fleece and the sewing machine.

The weather outside is frightful and the fire is so delightful

It was high enough that we had to force the backdoor open for the dogs!

Perfect winter food - homemade chili

All of this is solid ice - it looks like snow but it is really frozen tundra THAT WON'T MELT

Mike and his buddy Will from up the street.


Buying those sleds on Monday was a good call!  Had to go to the ski shop to find them.

Our secret sledding hill.  I realize off season that this would rock in the winter if we got any snow.  It's was created when they built the new private hospital (just up our street) next to the retirement home (HAHA), which backs up to part of a neighborhood.  They had to create a large drainage area for all that which ended up having great sledding potential.  This doesn't look real snowy but everything is covered in ice so it still worked great with the sleds.
 
The condition of our main neighborhood roadways - a few inches of solid ice

Mike and will on our trek home from the secret sledding spot.  It was soooo cold walking back in the wind!
