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.
