Ice Storm

A couple of weeks ago we had an ice storm.  Fortunately, the temperature hovered just below freezing when the precipitation was falling and the ground remained warm enough to keep ice from freezing on the roads.  So, what we ended up with was a landscape where all the exposed surfaces were covered with ice while the roads remained ice-free.  This made for some amazing scenery.  I ventured outside to take some pictures and here they are.

Icicles hanging from the roof.

Ice covered stems on a crepe myrtle bush by our front porch.

Ice covered seed pods on the same bush.
