Everything was coated with ice on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. With -30 degrees F wind chill factors, and no sun, it never got the chance to melt, and a lot of it is still there. It looked nice, though.

Thanks for the nice winter scene Jimbob but no thanks I would rather have a normal +40 instead. Hope the thaw will come soon your way.

Today it's in the Low 40's here with a wind chill factor in the low 30's when you consider the wind and high humidity. Which is like 30 below for you up there.
Tomorrow it is forecasted to be 71 degrees. GO FIGURE. Hot-Cold, Hot-Cold.

Beautiful imagery. If/when the sun shines on it.... blinding! The ice enhances the branches nicely.

Isn't it a beautiful sight - when every tree branch gets covered in frost from the fog? I have several images in my gallery that I took last winter when that happened where I live. Lovely shot. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I'm not going in there, though you'd think that a woman who hangs out the window in 20 degree weather is used to the cold! lol I shut the window, Jim. This shot reminds me very much of Narnia and I expect the witch to come bounding by in her sleigh at any moment! I hope things get warmer for you.

Beautiful as it is, it's all to familiar a sight for me lately. Snow's about covered ours over, so makes for some treacherous footing!

Really good job here, JimIcemanBob!

In my country we can only dream of such wonderful sceneries Jimbob. Can't even remember when we had our last white Christmas, but I can ensure you that's a pretty long time ago.
Thanks for this wonderful post my friend as it gives me a 'white Christmas' feeling though.
Regards, Cornelius.

A true ice storm, not something we see here very often. It happened a few times when I was a kid and it was always very exciting.
