Icy Branches

Our area got freezing rain during the night. The weather forecasters had predicted this.


I did not venture far from home today. Taking Charlie for a walk was a little scary this morning because my driveway was slippery and Charlie does not understand about ice. I don't think he's ever seen it before. Once we made it down to the sidewalk, the concrete was mostly just wet. I took some pictures of the frozen branches with my cell phone.

I guess the temperature did not go up above freezing because the branches were still covered with ice this evening.

  2. We were supposed to get similar conditions but the storm pretty much fizzled out here before it got started.

  9. Ice storms are the most dangerous, yet the most beautiful. You captured it wonderfully. Watch those power lines if you go out in it!

  11. Linda, you made my day. Ice and snow are a real rarity for around here along the Texas border. The ones I remember are along Highway 71 going north of Omaha on the Iowa side. They glistened in the sun, not yet melted but shiny wet.
