icicles...icicles...as far as the eye can see...

so it's been a loong time since i posted about today's weather.  let's just say...it hasn't gotten any better...it did stop snowing...but as soon as it stopped snowing, it started icing...at one time there were pellets of ice falling from the sky...pretty sure it's called sleet...but it was similar to hail...so i will call it...snowy-ice pellets!  LOL!  well once the ice starts coming...then you start looking for icicles...and let me tell you...i found them!  as of this post at some crazy time of the morning (school canceled for tomorrow and my work office is also closed tomorrow!) we still have a freezing mist type thing going on...all of the snow we had is for the most part still present...only now it's a solid block of frozen stuff...the top layer of snow has become ice...my driveway is a skating rink...and i can say this because i tried many times to fall down standing on it...much to the delight of my child!  anywho...some icy pics for you!

all of these pics were taken throughout the afternoon and evening...icicle growth has continued and their overall final size will be shown tomorrow!

random roof pic (forgive the fact my christmas lights are still up...those will come down when hubby has a few days off!):

random trash can pic...only because those are the most easily photo'd icicles:

and just because i thought this pic was funny:

who knew...seriously, it never would have occurred to me...that each piece of siding on your house would develop it's own icicles:

and lastly...the reason why ice is truly so dangerous...it completely takes over, encompassing all...weighing everything down and causing true and catastrophic damage:

that's it for tonight...i thankfully have tomorrow off...hope to actually get something scrappy accomplished!
