Yay!

Here is Blake, surveying our "breach" in the ice dam that was across our driveway!

The ice has thawed considerably, but still, almost 2 months since the ice storm of Dec

13, you can see how thick the ice is.

This wide shot shows the ice moat that once surrounded where I park the van. Now we can drive straight into the spot, and not up and over the moat "entry"! Oh YAY! A breach at each

end...can Spring be far behind? I should mention that yesterday and today were the first "melting" days we've had since Dec 13....hasn't been above freezing since then.

And last, but by no means least, our back step! It's been missing so long, under (at times) 4 to 5 inches of ice. There's a drip off the porch roof that lands here, so this area is subject to massive

ice build up every winter.
