After very cold weather, we got higher temperature and rain, resulting in thick ice on the ground, and branches. This branch was weighed down by the ice.
Many roads have been very slippery, and dangerous to drive on, but the main road just where I live is ok, but have a lot of water in some places.
Update on my wife's situation. She have improved hugely, and have been able to eat and drink again. Now I know that she will be ok when I go to work tomorrow.
Glad to hear your wife is improving.
