We've had warmer temps here in PA for the past three days and it has caused a thaw and a breakup of the ice in the nearby creek.
It must have flooded over night.
There are huge chunks of ice at the halfway point between my house and the creek.
We've never had this happen here before.
The sound of the ice crashing into each other was crazy.
It was snapping large low hanging branches.I have a feeling we will have some downed trees.
I just can't get over the size and thickness of this ice.
It's pouring rain now and the temp is dropping rapidly.
We are expecting freezing rain and 8 inches of snow tonight.
I can live without it for sure.

Wow! That is amazing! We are also having a strange winter in Wisconsin. Not much snow but so, so, so cold. Thank you for sharing your pictures! Stay warm and safe!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary. Thanks for commenting. I think everyone is having cold weather this year. It's crazy.
DeleteKaren, it must have been and is a very special experience for you, sitting here it looks just amazing, but being there, oh my ! the sounds, the sizes, everything so enormous ,and looking out of this world. Thank you so much for showing your wonderful photos , seeing you ?- in between all the ic e, gives a conception of how big it is . Take care in the coming freezing rain , - Hugs, Dorthe
ReplyDeleteHi Dorthe. It was a pretty crazy thing to see. That is my daughter in the photo. It is 0 degrees here this morning. Can't wait for Spring.
DeleteOh my gosh. That is amazing to see!
ReplyDeleteCrazy weather this year. We have only a couple of inches of snow on the ground here in Minnesota, but it is -8F. There will be a lot of dead plants come spring, without adequate snow cover for protection. Stay safe and warm! xo
Hi Linda. Wow...-8 is cold. I think we had -4 last night. We got about 6 inches of new snow to go with it. I was thinking the same thing about the dead plants in the Spring. I may need to replace a lot of things again. Are you at your new place now? I've been out of touch with the world for so long that I feel like I've missed so much.
DeleteWow, Karen, I can't imagine the sounds as those ice blocks broke up. I've never seen anything like that come ashore - even in Northern Michigan. Take care, and stay busy!
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing? I've been out of touch with everyone for so long now. I was just downstairs in my craft room last week and I was admiring a lot of the wonderful things you sent to me. You've always been so kind. Hope all is well in your world!
DeleteExtreme weather for sure, but very beautiful indeed. I don't think I've ever seen ice like that. I love winter time and your photos are very beautiful. Thanks so much for visiting my blog today so that I could find you again. xo
ReplyDeleteHi! It was nice to see your blog again. Visiting everyones blogs is something I haven't done for a long time. I'm always so inspired by the things you do and love the photos of the sea. Thanks for looking me up again too.
DeleteWOW Karen these images are surely amazing! I've never seen any like these! Enjoy even though so cold where you live.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying Summer breezes here in Australia!
So pleased you enjoyed the eco-dying experiments I shared.
Cheers,
Suzy
Hey Suzy. Can't wait for Summer breezes here. If I want to do any eco-dying here I'll have to buy things from the store. No plants here right now. I seriously love the paper you dyed. Very inspiring!
