The Little Ice Storm before the Big Ice Storm





This is what my yard looks like after 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice coated everything last night. Currently the area is bracing for Round 2 of the storm and expecting another inch or so of ice, high winds and snow. Why is it that some of the most dangerous events in nature are also the most beautiful?

  1. Wow, those shots are amazing. I really love the vines that are coated in ice. Although we won't be getting the snow and ice, we're bracing for the cold snap here in Louisiana. Stay warm and safe and thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures :)

  2. Beautiful! Love the second photo. The evergreen reminds me of a cat's tail when its fuzzed - so bushy!
    Stay safe and warm!

  4. Thats one thing I do NOT miss about North America; Winter. They whine here in England when the temps drop to zero. And I'm sorry to say I've become so acclimated to the milder weather now, I'm one of the whiners. Looks pretty when you don't actually have to deal with it.
