Snow yesterday, then sleet and freezing rain left every twig and branch coated today in ice. Here is the view this morning from my workroom. And it stayed like this all day. It took more than an hour of chopping ice, then pouring hot water just to get the car doors unfrozen. Around 5:20 p.m. when I went to drive into town to pick up the rutabaga strudel (more about that another time), the doors were again freezing shut. That's when I learned that the mail carrier had been here and stuffed mail in the box, but had not picked up the mail I'd put in this morning. He/she had also left the flag up. What is going on!
