Re: help needed!

Yeah for Kitty, who will remain upright! I couldn't remember the name of those things, but they can save you a broken hip, bruised butt, or concussion and certainly are worth the money!

Stay put, let it melt, and if you go out be very careful.. It is
extremely common for people to injure themselves trying to deal with
ice.  It is slippery ya know!

I live in a snow belt. I know how to deal with snow. Last night we got a 
wicked ice storm.

Normally, we only get some ice, so the next daylight, it melts off my
plants... well it ain't go no where this time. Way too much ice and it is dragging down my tree branches etc.... My yews are touching the ground! (they were 7-8 ft tall windbreak) If it was snow, I would know what to do... but 
this ice can't be shaken off etc...
I have icicles hanging off my climbing roses.... every tree branch is covered in ice... even every strand of ornamental grass (well I am not worried about 
that, but it is interesting to see)
So what do I do?? I am thinking some of you live in ice belts and have to deal with this on a regular basis. My entire driveway is going to have to be chiseled to get it off... (I was hoping it would have slushed today and I 
could have shoveled it...sigh.)

I need to do something, cause Sunday the snow is coming!
