Nice pretty icy trees

I visited my family in Kentucky after I had heard what the hellish snowstorms brought over the last few months. Before all the ice melted, the streets were lined with a picturesque amount of snow.  Afterward, the streets look like a disaster zone. There are still branches strewn about the neighborhood. Ironically, the streets and homes in the area don’t look as devastated when compared to the post-tornado carnage we had two years ago.

Poor little fallen tree

Cloud clearing in the distance

Mind you, these photos are of the homes in the more populous regions of the state, with adequate city infrastructure. I haven’t even seen the rural streets of my childhood home down south in the Appalachians. It probably does not look good.

To negate all of the doom and gloom, I’ve included a snapshot of the cloud clearing in the distance (Actually, gale winds tonight are 20-40mph). I’d also like to thank the generous DSL user in the neighborhood who left their wireless signal unencrypted to share unused bandwidth.
