This winter has certainly been a disappointment for snow lovers. Unlike the last few we have very little snow on the ground and only a few really cold days. This warmer weather pattern means that here in the mid coast storms start with snow but often turn to ice and eventually rain. The last few days have been exactly that, with some light snow then flurries and last night (luckily after I arrived home from Augusta) freezing rain.
When Argy and I went for our walk this morning the world was coated with ice and everything looked like crystal. The walking was interesting for sure and the facinating feature was that the ice formed out from many branches in places making a smooth surface look like it was covered with spikes of ice. The spikes began to break off as the breeze came up with the sun; covering the ground in places.
The next few days are forecast to be clear and cool, the settled weather pattern of mid-winter. Hope that the pattern changes and we get at least a little snow!
