All those LEDs glowing against the ice
From the driveway
The wreath had a light layer of ice on it too, as did all the bricks above the garage doors
Closeup of the lights reflecting in the ornaments hanging from the big tree
Looking towards the glow of the bushes
There's a sidewalk under here somewhere. Sleet/ice sheet was about an inch think in most places.
Bottoms of the bushes were buried
The lights made for some intriuging shadows against the ice
Up against the house, the sleet/ice drift was closer to 6 inches
Mr. Peabody standing knee deep in sleet/ice
DFW Remote North parking lot was completely iced over
And walking up to the car -- this was the exact point when I realized how much this was really gonna suck. My ice scraper is in the trunk, but the ice has frozen it shut. . .
About 1/4 inch of ice built up on the rear window. Took about 10 minutes to scrape off this much with my handy dandy emergency window breaker tool.
Accumulation was much heavier on the northern facing side of the car
And for some reason, even more so on the northwest side as it kept me from being able to get my driverside door open. Was able to get in from the passengerside (thankfully).
Yea, a little too much for the defogger to handle
Parking lot lights through the driverside door window
Obligatory foot on the ice shot
An hour later, finally had a hole scrapped out in the front window ice
The Remote North bus drivers should be getting quadruple pay tonight
Looking at the house from the sidewalk
Last year, only had the flood lights, multi color strings, and a few red lights leading up to Mr. Peabody. Everything else is new for the 2013 season.
From a little farther down the sidewalk
Several thousand LEDs seem to give the front yard a nice warm glow on a cold night
Really happy with how the front tree turned out, but didn't have enough warm white strings to finish it out. That'll be next year's addition to the display.

From the driveway
Wreath over the garage is new for this year as well
As is the 18 foot of garland and white lights around the front door. Also changed out the multi color string from the door wreath to match.
Reflections in the storm door
Mr. Peabody still standing guard
Looking out towards the street from the front door
Also put the Christmas tree up in the front room where it can also be seen from the street.
