The weekend before Christmas, part of Vermont was hit with an ice storm. We happened to be in the middle of it. It was 20 degrees and raining, which meant the water immediately froze on everything it touched. Over an inch of ice later, the damage was clearly seen and heard.
Thousands were without power through the holidays.
Many businesses were affected.
Hundreds of thousands of trees snapped, bent, or splintered.
Hopefully all of Ty’s Christmas trees fared well.
Though there is significant damage all around us, it is still quite beautiful.
And it should remind us to be a little more conscientious about how we treat our Earth – or damage like this may happen more often.
