Coat of Ice
Posted by tata on Friday Jan 30, 2009 Under EventsHusband just spent over an hour digging out our truck and my mom’s loaner. I still can’t fathom driving as our street is still covered in a sheet of ice. I did, however, want to get out of my PJs for once and stepped out for a bit. Sheese, it is still so fucking cold out there - and bright. I hope some of that sunshine will thaw us out. I went back in to get the camera, some proof that I did go out into this frozen hell and a reminder of how everything is completely encased in ice.
Would you look at the size of that icicle?! The thing is monstrously enormous.
If you click on the picture on the right here to make it larger, please note the icicles on the bottom wire - they are almost saluting because they froze at an angle during high winds.
It’s not a very pretty picture, but look closely at the one on the right again and you will see that everything - and I mean everything - is completely encased in a coat of ice. The wires, the bare tree limbs, icicles hanging from every surface. At the trees in the back are sagging from the weight of it.

OH honey, I feel your pain. We have ice too. My driveway is disguised as an ice rink I believe!! I feel for you all down there. I know what you’re going through. I was out at lunch today chopping ice with hubby on our sidewalk to our driveway. My arms got a workout!

I had to get out today or I might have committed harry carey. I think I could get away with it…if I had a jury of moms that have been home bound with kids for 4 or 5 days.
