It looks pretty, but the ice weighs heavy on the branches. Snow and wind compound the problem. Falling branches caused sporadic power outages - including at the restaurant where we had breakfast.
By evening the tree branches were bending low.
And Sunday morning's snow and wind whipped the branches around. Walking, driving - all challenges.
You may have to look carefully to see the buildings behind these trees.
An ice storm is beautiful but dangerous. I hope the trees survived the onslaught. That gate filigreed with snow looks so delicate.
ReplyDeleteGoodness- winter's still with you.
ReplyDeleteLove the gate. I must post a photo sometime of one we have atour house that my husband made. It is not so intricate but has some interesting decoration. Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteWe had a massive ice storm back in 1998. I'll never forget the sound of trees and branches snapping and then whooshing to the ground as we went out to start the generator to sump our basement. Not a friend of ice- hope it was better to you!
ReplyDeleteI love the shots of the trees. They look so beautiful when they're ice covered. Too bad it's so harmful to the trees and their surroundings.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a day to stay inside...that is, after the great photographs are taken!
ReplyDeleteGreat snowscapes. Personally I hope winter is behind us as I'm anticipating the arrival of spring weather.
