We had an ice storm earlier this week. I, along with every other individual in the Midwest1, took pictures of the cool ice capades.
I am limiting myself to just one photo, taken a day later, when the sun was shining and everything was melting. The photo looks better in the biggest size.
- Witness, this search on Flickr turned up over 10,000 ice storm pictures just this week (↩)
I admire your fortitude. I was still taking ice pictures as of this morning, but I've now forced myself to stop. The ice storm is over; I have to deal with that truth and get on with my life.
This is a very nice picture. It looks like that tree made it through the storm with most of its limbs intact, which is more than I can say for a lot of the pines around here.
We had very little tree damage in our neighborhood, and none at our house. I think the storm missed us (Lawrence is in a weather bubble), and we had our trees trimmed just last year, so that probably took care of the weaker/dead limbs. Our pin oak was a sight though, with all its leaves still onboard, the branches sagged almost all the way down. It seems to be fine now.
Just in time for snow tonight!
