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.

  1. 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!
