The Wheel is not Spinning

Our hydro wheel is covered with ice, but the water is still running. The day we had the painting party, even the creek was covered with snow. At least we could still find the bridge going across so we could get rinse water for the painting.
I was hoping the weight of the snow would take down the trees that are all crisscrossed over the "trail" and creek because they seem a bit dangerous. But if the snow didn't take them down maybe they are pretty stable? The batteries were charged enough to run the lights and stereo. We are running the generator for all the power tools. Jonathan made this dashboard for the car stereo we are using for our home stereo, it runs great off the batteries, it even has one of those old cigarette lighters we plug the iPod into. I am keeping my eye out for different gauges like an ampmeter, barometer a voltmeter, etc. I would alos liketo hide the wires when we move in.
