Monday Retreat

Just some photos on my way back to Jasper


This is the White River, looking nice and white from the ice


I thought that this was cool, as I was driving back to Jasper I noticed all of these lines in the snow off the road, and realized that they were made by the ice falling off the power lines and I've never seen anything like it, and its like this all over Jasper.


This is Loogootee, I don't think i have ever taken a picture in Loogootee, so I decided to get these snowmen

Day three of Winter Storm

Today there isn't any new snow but what is here isn't going anywhere soon either. A little more icicles are forming though and the icicles that are here are going as there is little melting on the roofs.



The front entrance to the house, as the snow begins to slide off and icicles start to form, these icicles are over a foot long


In the front yard a tree has some issues as the ice helps break off some branches



This is a winter wonderland tree as its full of ice and snow


The bird who lives in here may or may not like the icicles forming on the front step


In the pagoda there are hundreds of icicles forming as snow slowly melts


Here's a close up of the thickness of ice on the trees.


More ice on trees, its about 1/2 and inch


This just looked cool


This weather vane won't be spinnimg anytime soon since its been iced


Even the bird feeders have iced up

In a State of Emergency

These are pictures of the second day of the Winter Ice/Snow Storm in southern Indiana.
Although we are lucky because we have power tonight, and further south and into Kentucky there are reports of over 250,000 residents without power. Also all schools were closed today even the Colleges and University's. Here in Jasper IN. we Got about 1/2 inch of ice and about 9 inches of Snow, now here are some photos.
