Oklahoma Ice Storm 2010

Some shots of the ice. I didn't do anything special, as it's too darn cold to be fiddling with my settings :)

My yucca plant, about an hour into the storm

Tree branches coated with ice, a few hours in

Icy branches getting too close to the wires, a few hours in

Frozen grapevines in my backyard

Wires frozen solid, about 12 hours after

My snowy yard, this morning. It's now been snowing about 8 hours today.

My littlest guy, who loves the snow but not the ice

Frozen wires and trees, 18 hours in

My poor weeping willow

And a yucca

1. Slick pictures......

.......especially those ice-covered ones.

Cold and rainy in Dallas this morning, but so far, no sleet or freezing rain.

Please keep it on your side of the Red River................please.

4. I'm in a rural area

south of Tulsa. Came home yesterday afternoon and there has been no going anywhere since. 6-7 inches here now, I think, and still snowing. Hoping we don't lose power like we did in 07.

Stay safe and warm. :hi:

5. Thanks a lot!!

You sent it to Tennessee.

Honestly, not enough here to get dramatic pics, but overnight is not over. Mostly ice so far and I just heard a limb crack. Oh, boy.

6. Nice shots.

I gotta say, I'm glad we don't get that stuff up here in Anchorage very often.

8. These make me want to run a hot bath.

Hope your little willow gets through this without too much damage.
