Yuletide and an Ice Storm

Things have been a bit hectic for weeks, both at work and home, but I did manage to finish my Yuletide story, and even a bit before time.

Today I had a bit of enforced down time, courtesy of an ice storm that's pounded Toronto and southern Ontario the last couple of days. We were lucky enough not to lose power, but a few blocks north of us they weren't so lucky. But even though we still have power, there are branches and whole trees down all over the neighbourhood. Like this:

Here's a few prettier pics of the ice around our house.

This is the ravine behind our house.

How magical and pretty it looks, and so very Christmassy! And cold.... I hope those branches didn't damage anything on the way down.

It's Christmassy, but very dangerous. Branches took out powerlines, cars, and a big one landed on a neighbour's roof. Thankfully, our power is still on and we're safe and undamaged.
