neverspentImbolc, we're halfway from Winter Solstice to Spring. Today was an ice day!
Okay, not an ice day in the sense of "ice coating every outdoor surface and shutting down all movement and services," which is probably our most common kind of winter severe weather here. It was just very cold, and we'd had rain yesterday, so there was white, shiny stuff to look at here and there. I'll take it. In fact, it's quite cold inside my apartment and there was a quarter of an inch of ice on the inside of my bedroom window in the morning. It was pretty, with some streaks running down the white glaze where a few drops had started to melt.
All the puddles were frozen, of course, and by afternoon I noticed something that spoke to a universal quality of humans: all the the puddles were broken into pieces. Because ice is fun to crunch. :)
A little note on yesterday's raindroppy scene from where I park at work: it looked so different today, you almost wouldn't know it.
