Icy Night

“Poor Branch” Cedar Park, 2023

At about 2 am this morning, the icy tree branches started breaking off like crazy around the neighborhood. Our house backs up to a greenbelt, so there are a lot of trees close to us, and I could hear the wood cracking. Lani was also barking and whining, poor girl. I know she just wants to protect us and chase the animals that are making the sounds away, but I couldn’t let her out because it was so dangerous.

I surveyed the damage after it got light and the damage around our yard wasn’t too bad. But while Lani and I were outside, a large branch came down and scared both of us. Thank goodness Lani was at the other end of the yard!

Soonthe temperature rose to above freezing and the ice started to melt. I made a little time-lapse of the trees returning to their normal shape. Enjoy!

  1. Our dogs are not happy with all the falling ice. Thank goodness our house is in a field. But our air bnb was supposed to have guests tonight and that place, with trees planted in the 1940s, is a mess. Cameron looks (and apparently sounded) like a war zone. Stay safe!
