One Photo a Day: January 16, 2007
We had managed to avoid winter’s freezing blast until this week, which is unusual in Michigan. Yesterday the freezing rain came, and the temperatures dropped into the teens. As you can see from the photo, there is a tremendous amount of ice on everything, including the branches of this bush.
Although it makes for a pretty photo, it really is an ugly scene here as many trees are down and thousands of homes are without power. It’s the price we pay to live in Michigan.

You’re lucky you didn’t lose power. Ice can be heavy and really play havoc on power lines.
