As winter lingers here, we have been in a bit of a deep freeze over the past few days. Monday brought with it much rain and the possible threat of snow and ice. By nightfall the treat was more of a reality with ice forming on the trees, while the roads appeared only to be wet, but relatively safe for travel. We were out and about at that time and it was actually very picturesque.
Over the remainder of the night many suffered broken tree branches, fallen trees and even power outages. We were fortunate to have only a few small branches fall in our back yard. By morning the rain had ended as much of the ice on the trees remained. The temps hovered around the freezing mark, and many made the choice to stay home from work as some businesses were closed and also some schools. The weather can change all that is planned in no time. This is nothing in comparison to the blast of a blizzard some are experiencing! We are just not prepared for any type of it here!
I captured the images below from my back porch of ice on our trees the next morning.
We will be continuing to see much of this for a few more days with the temperatures staying below freezing. In the mean time, I'm sure I'll be asking ..."Is it Spring yet?"
I hope it's warm where you are!
Brrr-ville!...
