ICE ICE BABY
A couple of weeks ago, the south experienced a devastating ice storm. Most of Arkansas and Kentucky and parts of Tennessee were disaster areas as a result of trees that snapped and broke power lines across the state. Some homes are still without power. Most of the ice storms we have here start out as a beautiful crystal coating of rain turned into ice as it falls on the trees and roads. The beauty soon turns to deadly danger as unsuspecting motorists venture out on the "black ice". For a brief while, though, it is a dazzling sight.
Here are some shots I took at the bottom of my driveway that morning. Check out the deer standing in the woods. He was part of a herd of about 10 deer that were coming out of the woods to find food. We have to be careful on our street in the winter - startled deer frequently run out in front of cars without warning.
I almost missed seeing this deer in the woods by our driveway. He paused, stared, then meandered across the road in front of me. 
This is a tree in our front yard. The trees in Arkansas and Kentucky had three times this much ice.
