Freezing Rain

We had a brief bout of freezing rain today, but the temperature was rising rather than falling so it wasn't too serious.  Thin ice on branches and a few inch-long icicles have all melted now, 4 hours later.  Another illustration of our fickle up-and-down spring weather.

On the Redbud right outside the window, and ...

on a distant Sugar Maple.  Never know when it's spring weather we're talking about!

  4. The frozen drops of water made pretty pictures but I'm sure you were glad to see them melt away.

  6. It was very beautiful, and not too bad as it was short lived.

  8. Ugh, it was snow over here on the fringes of Algonquin. We didn't get as much as they forecast though, so thank goodness for that at least.

  9. I am glad that it didn't hang around. The earth is just in transition to a spring that we really do want to have.

  10. Ice storms can be outstanding beautiful. I understand that most people don't like them because they can also bring problems, nut like "bad" weather in all it's forms.

  11. We had a very wet storm that won’t leave much behind as we warm up.

  12. Something we rarely see, though it was forecast earlier this year. We changed our clocks to British Summer Time last night so the weather could do anything in the next week or two!

  14. I'll take the dusting of snow over a freezing rain, but I'd prefer the warmer temperatures.
