Actually, the ice was deposited about 24 hours ago, but it was still hanging around this morning. Luckily I did not have to scrape any windshields or do any driving so it was a minor inconvenience for me. Though the weekend guests (wife's sister and family) did stay an extra day.
No major power outages that I am aware of, perhaps typical Iowa winter weather, looking at the big picture.
This was the view looking out the north-facing window of our living room. Shadow of the house, animated Christmas deer, crabapple tree, driveway, street, yellow house opposite ours ...all combine to make a very abstract image. Looks very cool (if only to me) at the larger image, just click on it.
Our picnic table also has some nice seasonal decoration hanging on it...
Finally, a view up between the main branches of the silver maple in our backyard. It is terribly out of focus, but that seems to emphasize the ice on the high branches. The overall effect reminds me of a particular artist; I will let you make your own connection.It also looks, if only to me, like some weird astronomy image...
Hey, ya never know what you are gonna get when you live in the Midwest, in Iowa. Tomorrow it could be in the 50s again (as it was the day before this ice-storm) and the plants might wanna start pushing up out of the ground.
Thank god for the variety of life wherever it is found.
...tom...

Your pictures are outstanding. I know how beautiful an ice storm can me, at the same time how horrible.
Tell me, how did you link this in EA?
