I think your goose needs to control his drool problem.  ;D  Good pics, I've never seen leaves completely surrounded by ice before.

He just had a runny nose, Scotty  :lol:  I've seen ice-coated stuff before but, not to this extent.

Thanks very much, Becky.  I hate cold so, it was not fun getting these shots.  They just HAD to be taken, though  :idiot:

That last shot is cool. I wonder how a farmers field might have looked with all that ice?
I have not seen ice so thick on branches before, unless they were under the eaves or something.

Ohhh, there it is!

Looks like you had the same ice storm that Virginia had in January!  I got some "icy" photos too.

Must share more on here.  Love yours!

Yup... we gave it to 'em.  heheheh

Take a look at the shots on my pseudo-blog of the ice storm.  The damage done to the small park is JUST NOW being cleaned up.  We had horrendous winds a week after the ice melted and it they took down even more heavy branches and some trees weakened by the ice.

Wow I have rarely seen ice that thick!  We get a lot of ice storms here in the north but nothing like this.

Very Glassy looking-bet it was gorgeous seeing but not fun going through! Don't care for long periods of cold but I had to adjust with coming from a milder climate...It does get summer temps that I do appreciate...

REally 'cool' shots! :)
