Ice and Icicles

Since the snow (we ended up getting 8 or 9 inches) there has been ice and icicles. The icicles will melt some during the day, and then that water on the ground freezes up during the night.  There are small, cute icicles-




To really big ones-


You can't really tell in the pictures, but the two really big ones are about 3 feet long. And, no, I'm not exaggerating. Pop said so himself, and Pop doesn't exaggerate like I do. So there. ;) Talk about steer clear when they fall!



Then there's ice-




Right now we're pretty much not walking on concrete areas and just staying in the snow. It's much safer. ;) I don't know when the snow is going to melt. Today the high is 34 degrees. This is the first day it's supposed to be above freezing temperature in about a week. It's been minus something at night for the past week, too. Yikes! : O

For now I'm just enjoying winter and not really looking forward to summer. ;)

Wow that's so pretty!
And looks so fun!
We don't get snow very often here.
Last year it snowed enough to make a big snowman, it only lasted for a day though.
My favorite season is winter!
What's yours Haley?!
:-D
