For the last few days we have been having ice. Sunday the temperature was in the 60's and it was rainy. Late in the evening the temperature dropped tremendously. By morning there was a coat of ice on everything. It rained off and on all day Monday, and the temperature remained below freezing. By Tuesday morning there was 3/8 inch of ice on the car. I had to run the car for 25 minutes before the ice on the windshield loosened enough for me to be able to scrape a hole to see out of.
I never had my camera with me, so I was never able to get any pictures. It was dreary and rainy, so I don't know if I could have gotten any good pictures. Last night late I went out on my back porch and took these shots. I hope no one was planning on sitting in this chair.
Today it warmed up into the mid thirties and started melting some, but there is still plenty of ice around. I will be glad when it is gone. Ice, ice, baby too cold ice, ice, baby.
There's nothing worse than ice when it comes to driving, but it can be pretty. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteOps,the water is frosen,and here it has been raining too,and the roads are like mirrors,very dangerous both to drive and to walk on.
ReplyDeleteWe're expecting some ice this evening with snow into tomorrow. I hope your trees are getting through the ice storms ok. We lost many last January. Be careful out there!
ReplyDeleteThose icicles are so cool! I remember when I was younger and they would always be hanging off our house. Be careful in all that ice!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos and excellent VIEW for ABC post.
ReplyDeleteGood photos, Richard. We didn't get much ice here in central Arkansas, just ice pellets (bigger than sleet) so it didn't coat the trees and power lines (Thank you, Lord). Roads were very slick, and some were closed on Tuesday morning. Light rain this morning, but temps above freezing.
ReplyDeleteBe safe if you have to get outside in that stuff.
It is so pretty. A terror to drive in, but pretty!
ReplyDeleteBoy we really don't know what real cold is here in Tasmania. I got an email from a friend visiting Canada the other day & he said it was minus 25 Celcius. I couldn't imagine being that cold. Keep warm over there in your art of the world
ReplyDeleteMy location always comes up as Hobart in your FEEDJIT thing, I'm actually in Launceston, my ISP server must be in Hobart
ReplyDeleteWow...what a bunch of icicles! Great shots. We've been too warm for much ice although we did have some sleety rain last week a couple of days...very brief.
