We got a quarter inch coating of ice which is enough to be pretty but still keep the accidents and the power outages to a minimum. This morning when we awoke it was 27F 26F 25F (and dropping fast) We are expecting deliveries so we were out before breakfast spreading sand on the driveway. The bare gravel is actually more treacherous than the aerated ice pack we had created by sanding earlier this week. I have Yaktrax on a pair of my tight fitting garden clogs so whenever I go out I can wear those and carry "good shoes". They really are amazing. I've been clippety-clopping all over the ice in my cleats.
Here are a few scenes from this morning. Every nature photographer in three counties is hoping for some sun before this melts but I fear they will be disappointed. It is actually overcast and foggy out.

beautiful icy foliage! As a floridian, I appreciate it. We never get this....anymore
ReplyDeletewell that's good! You don't want it LOL
DeleteBeautiful photos! We got about 10 inches of snow (7 degrees this morning)… which will make tomorrow ‘interesting’, when we’re expecting lots of rain and almost 50 degrees! I’ve got my Yaktrax ready..! Stay safe! - Rigmor
ReplyDeleteFirst we get weeks of uninterrupted cold and snow and now we've got the flipflops. We've been spoiled by mild winters.
