Rain & Ice!!

lynne b · 12-09-2007, 10:03 AM

We have been haveing rain & ice since last night (I hate winter) but thought this was kind of pretty. When I look out my patio door this is what I see, we have lattic covering the top of our patio and the rain has frozen dripping from in between the holes. It might be kind of hard to see but it sure is pretty

I dont like the cold at all, and dont do well outdoors for long, but the winter can be so so pretty. Thanks for sharing, those pics are lovely.

How are you Lynne? It's so nice to see you back on. Those are such interesting shots!

rivermom · 12-09-2007, 10:48 AM

That is so interesting to see all those lattice holes w/ icicles on them. Very pretty.

Years ago NW Arkansas and surrounding areas had a major ice storm. It's was like living in a glass world. The beauty of it all was incredible but to be out in it and get around was miserable to say the least.

We have ice warnings today but so far it's just been wet and cold. I wonder what it will do tonight when the temps drop?

Stay safe those of you now dealing with this stuff!!!

Pretty much sucks here...lol Lynne is about 25 minutes north of me. It's still raining and still some freezing, mostly now on metal things and the trees. I've seen cars go by faster than I think they should so maybe the roads are not too awful bad. Would love to go shopping, but really think I need to keep myself right here...lol

I didn't take any pictures yet Lynne...it will probably all be melted by the time I decide to. I haven't even got dressed yet and it's 2:00 P.M. Ha Ha

Our trees are starting to snap. It is so wierd to see and hear thunder and lighting with these storms.

I watched the news this am with a segment on OK. Lots of ice going on there.

We did freeze last night w/ frozen roads. My hubby will be doing my driving work for me this morning so I'm thankful of that. He knows I stink at driving on bad road conditions, LOL.

Ice is treacherous for driving. Keep safe all of you!

Janet · 12-10-2007, 09:04 AM

We didn't get it as bad as out west. WOW!! The paved roads are in pretty decent shape, but the gravel roads are horrible.

I saw the news also Michelle, I hope you still have electricity, it looks really bad. Let us know how you're doing.

Janet....did you have to drive bus today. They cancelled school up here. It was pretty nasty this morning, but it wasn't too bad at lunch. Walking is worse then driving.

I saw on the news that Oklahoma City was hit pretty hard with ice. How are you doing! I know that a lot of people are without electricity.

We're in a warning for this afternoon and all day tomorrow. We have ice on the roads and they're pretty slippery. I'm planning on just staying home and getting some things ordered on the internet. The kids didn't have to go to school today and I wonder if they'll be out tomorrow too. I sure hope that our electricity doesn't go off. I have that!

Yes I drove this morning. It wasn't bad at all on the paved roads, but the gravel roads were horrible. My son wanted to drive and he really needed to, but hubby called and said the roads were really slick.....he has a tendency to exaggerate some. I think my son would have been okay driving. It was foggy here a little bit, how about up there?

Janet · 12-10-2007, 11:08 AM

Guess it was kind of dumb of me to ask if she still had electricity...duh....if she doesn't she can't answer me. What a goofball...only took me two hours to figure it out...LOL

No Fog, but it was so overcast that it looked like it was still dark til 10. The ice had started to melt at lunch once it brightened a bit.
