Freezing Rain

It's hard to believe that just 3 weeks ago, the outdoors of much of the northwest was a winter wonderland/mess/storm... Well, here are the pictures from the Thursday of freezing rain:

Just past this gate was an area the snow was over a foot deep, and that evening when I walked over it, the layer of ice from he freezing rain did not break. That was pretty cool.

We didn't go anywhere that day... :D

Are blossoming plum tree was pretty much detroyed! =(

Aaand that night (and by night I mean we finished after 1:00AM.) we built an awesome snow igloo.

Making a hole for our ice window.

Here it is! All completed! :D

This is another one of those cross-eyed 3D pictures. It is of an "ice sculpture" I made out of sheets of ice off the snow.

And here end the days of snowy adventures! Click here for the first post of this snow adventure. And here for the second.

Here is the igloo just one week later:

It melted way faster than we expected.

:D
