Freezing Rain

The trees struggle to stay upright under the weight of the ice building up on the tree limbs.

I think I know how to use that picture uploader now lol. It works somewhat backwards to other ones I have used in the past but I am use to it now, me thinks.

Where are you located Bob. Experiencing same weather (Central Ontario). Poor Trees. Warming up here so ice should melt.

I had little less ice here and I did not notice trees because my big tree in back yard was cut down last summer.....but pretty pictures....and the uploader on the pics....if you notice in your pic the black area around the bottom pic? you can get that to be just the pic with no black area with adjusting the frame inside the picture...you pulled it all the way out to the edges.....if you move that red frame around it can crop it to be just what you want in the picture....

We get ice storms instead of snow. Everything shuts down here in North Texas with ice storms. The trees always look Lacey with the ice hanging off them but it’s hard on the trees.

@ Mid...Some of the ice melted but then the temp dropped. Snow tomorrow.
@ Atpeacemary ...Yes, very! I saw a bad accident on the interstate as a result of this. Luckily it was in the southbound lane. I was going
north so it didn't affect me.
@ billwfriend....Yes, I didn't really want the black frame, but it looks kinda nice...I was just trying to shrink the photo and that was the only
way I thought I could do it.
@ SunCloudJD.....I was really surprised there was no power outage where I live, but I am thankful. I have a stand-by generator, but the
propane to run it is expensive.
@ mlr0853.....We had a high of 41 today but now the temp is dropping and snow on the way tomorrow but I don't think we are getting
much, at least I hope we don't.
@ hasty_05....I can see why everything shuts down...Ice storms are dangerous and since they are uncommon in the south, they probably
don't have the equipment to handle them. We have a huge stockpile of sand and salt in this little town where I live but it's corrosive
to cars, and shortens their life. I just had the rocker panels replaced on my car because of it.
@...lilmissy7...My Pleasure!
@ finallyawakenow....My backyard is a skating rink and it's going to snow tomorrow. Snow on top of the ice will be scary as well as the
driveway. I'll have to be careful.
