Tuesday morning sunrise forewarning the latest storm to overtake the Northeast, right on the heels of a storm that delivered 9″ of snow on Sunday. This one is starting out as snow, then sleet, followed by heavy rain as the temperature rises through the night. Flooding expected, again. What a winter!
My son, who lives in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, knows my fascination (obsession?) with ice formations and shared these shots with me. He owns a snow removal tractor and this is the drive shaft that spins as it rotates the snow thrower at the front. The heat from the drive shaft melted the snow and as the water spun off, it formed ice in the frigid air, defying gravity. Pretty ‘cool,’ eh?
An old wooden bucket I filled with Annabelle and Oak-leaf Hydrangea flower heads, tufts of Miscanthus grass and seed capsules from Balloon flower (Platycodon) for my IAVOM post on Cathy’s 10th anniversary has been updated for the Christmas season. I added white-painted branches with gold balls, white pine boughs and cones, as well as a red-checked ribbon bow. A basket below is filled with more white pine cones and mini-gourds. Many thanks to Cathy for hosting this addictive and popular meme!
