I took a few pictures today around LSF of the ice and snow. It is pretty, but it is very destructive. Not only does it break trees, but it is also too much weight for our backstop netting, light poles and our gutters on the roof. Our little river birches out front are touching their toes, but they are young and supple enough they should bounce back as long as we don't disturb them. Our main concern is the Old National Bank building next door (the one with the pointy green roof that looks like a sail boat). It is notorious for dropping huge chunks of ice onto the pavement below. They have the sidewalk cautioned off and we have warned people not to park next to the building. Our General Managers car was totaled several years ago when a ton of ice fell and flattened his car. He saw the whole thing from his office. Anyway, here are a few pictures (Click on the pictures for a larger view).
The SUV in the above picture is parked in the wrong spot. Just waiting for a ton of ice to crash down on top of it.
Maybe they will find the ballpark 10,000 years from now as the overriding glacier melts away at the end of another ice age and wonder what this space was used for.

Peewee looks like he sneezed on his glove. Good pics!
I'm a snow lover, not an icicle lover. Thursday morning was the coldest I have ever been,inside a house. Had to leave. Glad you and Beth stayed warm. Young lovers.
Look at me - back home and reading the blogs. Good pictures, Brian. Enjoyed them.
Good pictures. From the outfield bleachers all the seats in the grandstands look like they're covered with a tarp.
On my second look thru the pictures I noticed the "Paul Hornung" statue. Very appropriate with him playing out his career on the "Frozen Tundra" of Green Bay.
