Austin's February 2023 ice storm left a visible mark on the city's tree canopy — snapped limbs and split trunks scattered across neighborhoods. Ice storms are uniquely brutal on trees because the weight builds silently overnight, stressing branches that look fine until they don't. Central Texas trees didn't evolve for this, which is part of why the damage runs so deep. #Austin #Texas #IceStorm #TexasWeather

Early in April, we woke up to freezing rain. The garden became coated with ice. The birds moved about eating seeds, and I ventured out into the rain with my camera. I took some quick photos of the ice on the maple tree, chicken wire, and last year’s switch grass, and milkweed pods. I figured I would come back out a little later, but the rain got warmer, and within an hour, it melted away the sculpture it had been working on all morning. #icestorm #garden #nativeplants

The branches were so heavy, we are lucky this spruce did not sustain damage

Well, we are down to 22,640 people still without power! That came down a lot in the past 24 hours! Hopefully, everyone else can get restored by tomorrow night so we can all start major clean-up around here.

And we're back up again, but prepared to have repeated outages as they work their way through everything.

Living in a small town comes with a lot of downsides. Absolute truth. I can't get delivery of anything to my house, I have to drive to another town to get to any grocery store or big box store, I have no fast food nearby, prices at the party store are sometimes double what they are at Walmart or Family Fare. It can really suck.

However, this state of emergency has really shown how a community can come together. I have seen people delivering wood for free, food giveaways, showers...

Well, we are now at "crews are making repairs." It still says tomorrow at 6pm, but I feel a little better knowing they are in my immediate neighborhood. A couple of friends have gotten power back long before the estimated restoration time so this gives me hope. Of course, one lives in another county even though they have a Rosco address and the other lives quite a ways from me. But... It's seeming more positive than when I woke up this morning.
