Ice storm

So our beautiful little tree in front of our house is slowly coming down from all the ice. One branch just fell onto the neighbors car (but it's okay thank goodness, just little limbs hit it and the sheet of ice seemed to protect it) and the rest is getting lower and lower so it's only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down

This split pretty much guarantees the other parts will soon fall too

This is in our backyard. This nice crashing noise was this morning while we were trying to get some sleep. We are SO lucky that it was just this branch that fell right into the yard instead of on the house or fence. Yet anyway....
