Our ladybug remained bright and cheerful throughout the entire ice storm.

Ice Storm: Television Antenna
Television antenna that we, fortunately, had not gotten around to installing yet. Had it collected that much ice while on the house roof, it would probably have come crashing down.
(Note: As time and a slow dialup connection allow, I will be editing and uploading ice storm photos to a Picasa online album and will eventually post most of them on this blog. If you want to check out the Picasa album from time to time, it is here.)

Ice Storm: Icicles On Icicles
The slower freezing mist and drizzle that fell during the morning of 01/27 coated limbs and stems with a layer of ice. The heavier freezing rain that fell during the PM ran off the stems and created icicles which changed direction as the limbs sagged more and more. The icicles ended up looking like tusks.

Ice Storm: Bowed Tree In Yard
Freezing rain is still falling and this tree near the northwest corner of our house is still collecting ice. The large upper limb that's very bowed in this photo eventually snapped. (Photo taken Tuesday, January 27, 2009, 12:18:02 PM)

Journal: Sunday, 12/21/08
► Chilling down. 23ºF/-5ºC @ midnight. A northwest wind gusting to 30 mph/48 kph doesn't help with keeping warm.
► Time to throw a couple more logs on the fire and go to bed. (Clear, gusty_01.jpg)
north wind and 15ºF/-9ºC @ 4:30 AM)
► Nature in the Ozarks blog post/photo: Today's Flowers -- Beach False Foxglove.
► Not planning a picnic, but not too bad out if you can stay out of the wind. Sunny, north wind 10-15 mph (16-24 kph), 21ºF/-6ºC @ 10:30 AM.
► Temperature climbing under sunny skies. 27ºF/-3ºC @ noon.
► I mixed up some gasoline for my chainsaw this afternoon, but that was as far as I got in preparing to cut some firewood. Usually I've done quite a bit of firewood cutting by this time, but this year I didn't need to because we had a lot left over from last year. Still, we hardly have enough to last through the entire winter so I need to get working on that project.
► Temp climbed to around 20ºF/-1ºC during the heat of the day, but is falling fast now that the sun is setting. (23ºF/-5ºC @ 4:45 PM)
► Really burning through the fire wood. Blustery wind, clear sky and 17ºF/-8ºC @ 8:15 PM.
There were a few icicles on the waterfall just below our house, but not as many as I expected -- nor were they as large as I thought they might be. The waterfall was catching a lot of direct sunlight. The icicles were melting enough to fall even though our temperature remained below freezing all day.
► Heading down to our coldest night thus far this winter. (Clear, moderate northwest wind and 12ºF/-11ºC @ midnight)
► Weather Summary: High = 30ºF/-1ºC. Low = 12ºF/-11ºC. Temperature @ midnight = 12ºF/-11ºC. Clear skies and a fairly gusty north wind all day.
