We are covered in ice today. Last night we had thunder, wind, hail and all kinds of ruckus. Today, it's ice ice and more ice.
I've lost a huge limb off my largest apple tree, which really surprises me since we keep it pruned correctly. I lost power for a short while, which was not unexpected. The lightning was intense!
Don't know if trees are falling from lightning, wind, or accumulation of ice, but the cracking noise of limbs falling is just creepy.
We were supposed to get above freezing today, but the temp is falling already. It's going to be in the 20's tonight.
The photo is my Hosui Asian Pear tree. Poor thing, it was loaded with blossoms. In the background, you can see a climbing rose with clematis vines that I have not yet pruned.
