Images of COLD

Ok...I realize there are lots of other places in the country that can show far more dramatic pictures of cold-ness....but this is San Antonio...it's not supposed to look like this here! LOL

Icecicles growing sideways!

THAT is one of the coolest things Ive ever seen!

Judy, What a nice home. I hope that you are getting settled in good. I saw that the temps in San Antonio were absolutely abysmal. And wondered about you.


When I worked on the flight-line we used to have to use the ECUs to heat up ourselves and forgett about the planes and choppers -- but that was Korea.

Keep warm,

i never really thought much of ice and such cause i see alot, but to see it were you are is crazy, that looks so cool. nice home also, looks great!!!

Welcome to Texas weather... it can be unpredictable and surprising.

Nice pics...and your house rocks! Love that upstairs balcony, patio thing...cool place to chill...no pun intended...:)

wow and i thought it was cold here...well im in SoCal and it NEVER snows here or anything unless you live in the mountains.those are some awesome ice formations.

Brrrr.... Very cool pics, or should I say cold? We had those sideways icicles last year. All we've had this year is some slick sidewalks. (almost fell on my rear end taking my son to school yesterday) It's bad when we walked to school this morning and I though 32 was positively balmy. :giggle: Wednesday morning was miserable. The kids were all bundled up in the wagon, and it was freezing!!!

Thanks for the nice compliments!


I love my little balcony. That's off the master bedroom. When we lived here last time, hubby and I would sit out there on balmy evenings and watch the sunset and local bats chase bugs around the rooftops. Always a great way to unwind from a long day.

Seriously.

I was really hoping South Houston would get cold enough for ice so school would be cancled, but it just lingered a degree or 2 above.:( Really good shots ,Judy!:D

Reminds me of Indiana...

GORGEOUS house by the way. Gorgeous.

Ack girl I'm green with jealousy! A private balcony off the Master! Lucky dog! Gorgeous pics...how in the heck do sideways icicles form? Is this a Texas thing LOL?

Brrr! Your landscape looks like it did a few days ago here; granted, we are in western NY...!
I am seriously fearing the climate future in this country and on this earth..

Thankee thankee, Jo and everyone! :D Not sure about the sideways 'cicles...I figured they formed normally and then the branch holding them up just bent over...but it didn't look like any of the branches were drooping that deeply. Definitely an fascinating effect!

Icicles form from frozen water. The snow in the air begins to melt when it touches the tree branches which are warmer than the surounding air. Then, when the wind blows from the side the water re-freezes sideways. It is really cool!!!

Thank Akiva that makes perfect sense (even on one cup of coffee I understood this! LOL)

I wanted to add that your home is beautiful! I love the gray brick look..
