What Winter Storm Fern Left Behind In Deep East Texas

By this time, y'all might be tired of seeing all of the posts online about Winter Storm Fern. Let's face it, it's the big news right now. I get it though, if you had damage from the storm, it might strike a nerve or two.

However, I finally got the chance to step out of the house and get a look at some of the after-effects of Fern. Keep in mind, we didn't have damage where we were - and I'm quite thankful for that - so we don't have the massive photos of trees on powerlines, busted water pipes, etc. Instead, I was able to get some pictures around our neck of the woods in Deep East Texas.

The Frozen Tower Garden

I was even able to get a quick video of me getting my first look of the frozen tower garden that my wife has in our back yard. Take a look:

Yeah, that thing was frozen solid. But the plants that were underneath the covering should be alright - according to my wife. She's the professional, so I'll take her word for it. (And for those of you wondering what's under the cover: It's got lettuce, cilantro, kale and broccoli).

At the end of the day, I realize that Winter Storm Fern could have been so much worse, and I'm just thankful that it wasn't all bad. Power stayed on, no damage happened here, and - for the most part - we were able to stay warm.

And, on top of it all, I got some pretty cool pictures. Check them out below:

I was able to get out and get some photos of the aftermath of Winter Storm Fern. They weren't the hard-hitting photos of damage left behind like some people had to endure, but some pretty cool pictures of the ice brought on by the storm. Check it out!
