Remembering the Ice Storm ’08
Notes on the Re-Run for Tuesday, December 6th.
— Andy
Throughout Friday, freezing rain, sleet, and snow came down, covering the State Capitol and surrounding building with a layer of ice.
The ice weighted down trees and made everything look “wet”, but it did not pile up all fluffy like we think of snow being.
Here are the Heldeberg Mountains covered with ice and beauty.
The next morning walking through the woods, covered with ice and beauty at Cole Hill State Forest.
The swamp at Cole Hill was just shimmering in light.
While driving the pickup for a while got the ice melted off the doors, it kept freezing shut, and I had to keep cracking the ice off the doors.
Ice on a Pine Tree at Thatcher Park.
Branches covered with ice where so pretty.
Even when it was on the power lines and knocked out power to thousands.
The Ice Storm of 2008 was so beautiful, even if it did knock out power and close down roads.
