    Tell ya what....that series of photos really does get better then further you go into them.

    Some amazing angles with the horizontals and verticals of ice....and the man knows how to show his blue skies off

    Tumble...how do you find this good stuff.....the recent Knife Sharpening info in Hot Pot forum was equally awesome

    S! pilot....you rock

    Brilliant pictures. We had an ice storm some years ago - nothing like the magnitude of the pictures of course - and it was a very odd experience. Everything seemed varnished (though from indoors it just looked wet) and when a friend visited we had to pull him up the path with brooms!

    Yes, have you got any pictures of the broom incident?

    LOL! To my lasting regret, no we haven't, alas!

    We have a sloped drive which he managed to get his car onto but every time he tried to get through the gates on foot he just kept sliding backwards. Eventually we rescued him by crossing the lawn (nice 'n' crunchy!) and holding out two brooms to pull him onto the frozen grass.

    Sadly, we've not had an ice storm since but the experience was interesting to say the least!
