Ice, Ice, and More Ice

Icicles After Storm and Sugar Maple Leaf

A wild and wicked ice storm hit southern Ontario late Saturday night / early Sunday morning and has since left a vast amount of folks without hydro for what may be 3 days. In Toronto alone there was upwards of 350,000 people without power. Never a good thing, especially in winter. Let’s hope these folks have their hydro back on soon. Fortunately, I was spared any issues at my rural home north of Toronto. We only received a small amount of freezing rain and did not lose any hydro or tree limbs.

Today, I was in Toronto and decided to capture a couple of images to illustrate the thickness of ice on the trees and on my way home captured a late evening farmscape cloaked in ice.

On a side note, I was invited by friend, colleague, and mentor Arthur Morris, to write a guest post the Birds As Art blog. Please click here to see The Three Frosties blog post.
