Mini Ice storm

I don’t like direct links because a lot of scripts index LJ’s images and it eats my bandwidth. To see the picture, follow the link below to the real page.
I’ve been wishing for an ice storm for months now. Ever since the hummingbirds left, really. A few days ago, most of the southeast got a little bit of one. It lasted for about 8 hours and left about 1/4 inch of ice on everything a foot off the ground. It didn’t freeze on the roads or grass, so school/work wasn’t cancelled. I got a few photos of it before it all melted, but most of them were totally trash because of the low light and rain when I took them. It’s pretty hard to take pictures when you’re shivering and the lens is wet. Here’s hoping for one with more ice and better light, like last January!
