We expected ice... and we got it. It rained and then froze. I heard the rain last night. When we woke, it was 31 outside and really didn't look too bad. So, we looked at the TV. Local school was 2 hour delay We are in the "northern tier" and had gotten hit with ice after the snow. There was no one on the roads but it was still early. I got my coat on to go out to take pictures. B said they had just changed the school announcement from 2 hour delay to closed. Well, as I got to the porch I could see why... slippery!! The pictures I took at 7:15 are too dark to just upload.. I'll have to fool around with them.
So we spent the morning home - had coffee and bagel - and got the Christmas Cards ready to go. I packed up the book I sold on Amazon and we were ready to hit the trail. By noon the temperatures were up to 33 and the roads were fine. After the post office we went to lunch at Fluff's and then came home. Then I went out again to take these pictures before the ice totally melted.
This is toward the little stream taken from the back driveway.
And this is on the septic mound looking back into the woods.
Really lovely and it was nice to NOT have to go out until the roads were better.
Retirement is nice!!!!
