On Tuesday we came upon the aftermath of the Ice Storm that went through Oklahoma. As we entered the state all seemed well- it was cold but there was no sign of snow or ice
Quite suddenly- as if there was a line where the ice started/stopped- we were surrounded by ice draped trees. It was really quite pretty- even glistening in the sun. Luckily again for us, the roads were perfectly dry and not icy.
As we drove on---for the next 100 miles!! -- the ice coat thickened. The trees were sagging, even the blades of grass were coated
Eventually the trees were broken from the weight. We saw where power poles had snapped too.
As we approached Oklahoma City there was more evidence of why the interstate had been closed during the height of the storm. Many vehicles were in the ditch.
AS for us...........we sailed on through. The roads were dry the whole way. We are in Amarillo Texas tonight.
