It was tense. We watched the radar all day last Wednesday. And the thermometer. The big branch kept lowering layered with ice. Saturday another 13 cm snow...
There was ice all down the balcony glass.

No branches lost during this storm. Whoopeee. The last one, and the one before, cost us several thousand dollars to clean up. [The arborists were here!] We had ice storms in 2013, 2016 and 2023.
Cats were chomping at the bit Thursday morning. Going outside with them on the deck I noticed that some thing had moved the hornet's nest. The cats were very keen on looking out onto the lawn. I saw nothing unusual.
#75 is doing cleanup.
We had the first sign of Butch March 7th. Butch makes a good clean up crew. Sort of.

On the back deck some stones had been moved out of the rabbit's bowl. I usually plant paperwhites in this container. Deeply suspicious I was.
Off to check out the Crumbly Acres camera footage, I found them! Butch doesn't hibernate. They tend to hunker down in the deep cold around here. Something like 5 - 10 degrees below zero.
I prepared this a few days ago. Since then we've had snow. This morning we're back in a deep freeze. to -16℃. We've been going back and forth between rain and snow. Coffee is a welcome ritual this morning.
