Someone at school predicted snow and ice in Jan/Feb but I didn't believe the rumors. However, a couple of weeks ago we brought in our little orange trees because of the freeze and schools had a late start. But this week, schools and bridges are closed due to icy conditions. It is the correct response to such a rare event. When God sends an ice/snow day in the South, it's time to hunker down at home with soup, biscuits and gravy. As you can see, we only got a sprinkling of snow, but mostly they are ice pellets. We all took a walk and Max took some pictures to share. Enjoy!

This weather has been a God-send. We've been so busy with extracurricular activities, that to have this unexpected break in the routine has been a great gift. We are enjoying these lazy days at home, cooking, drawing, making music, and a bit of writing thrown in as well. I hope you are warm where you are.

It's been cold here with hardly any ice, though other areas saw quite a bit. The pictures a beautiful!
Oh my goodness, how beautiful. If Max has not found his profession in photography, at the very least he has found his art and a wonderful avocation.
It is snowing AGAIN here. At least it is above zero. As at least a part-time hermit, I like living in The Land of Excuses to Stay In. :D
Gorgeous photos! Please tell Max I said thanks to him for sharing them. Cold here but not snow since Saturday.
Does Max have his own photography blog I can follow? His work deserves it. Until then, you get the benefit of his talent.
Stay warm.
Gorgeous! I love iced leaves and branches--even lovelier than just "plain snow." Although we've been ooh-ing and ah-ing at the photographs of snow crystals in the picture book "The Story of Snow." It's kept us from getting too grumpy about having to stay inside in all the 0 degree weather.
Thank you all so much. Max will be pleased to see all these comments and here's his blog: http://maxbodach.blogspot.com/
Bish, I heard TX had a cold spell too.
Marcia, Max would love to be a National Geographic photographer. Whether or not he does this professionally is up to him, but I love that he is developing his powers of observation.
Ev, I will. Thank you for stopping by.
Mirka, you asked, and I deliver: http://maxbodach.blogspot.com/ He has a permanent link on my blog and I feel so lucky he's taken over the photography in our family.
Faith, I love seeing the patterns in ice too. And snowflakes are just plain magic.
Beautiful pictures, Vijaya! I agree about the timeliness of an unexpected break. Our driveway is still iced over, but the kids were back to their regular schedule today! = )
Ah, yes, unexpected gifts!!!
