Buttercream or Creamcheese

The other night we had our first icing.  There was an ice storm through the night and we woke up to discover everything was covered in ice; the grass, plants, trees, sidewalks, cars.  Our car was completely encased in a 1/4 inch layer of ice.  We've never seen anything like this.
The 2009 Ice Storm of Louisville (before we lived here) produced a 2 inch layer of ice encasing everything.  The weight of the ice snapped tree branches and downed power lines.  People were without electricity for a week.  I hope this does not repeat itself; a 1/4 inch ice layer is enough to deal with.  But just in case I've got our large flannel comforter reading to keep us warm.

I took some photos of the grass and plants to try to show the layer of ice; if you look closely you will see that the plants are totally encased in ice.
