We're in a winter wonderland right now, ice-covered everything! It's beautiful!

You got what passed through here, in Ohio. We didn't get the beautiful ice-covered trees, it was just a mess. 67 crashes yesterday morning and I don't know how many last evening. This is a big advantage of losing my job, I don't have to go out and drive on the ice! Now it's been snowing since about 9am and it is gorgeous! It's nice to be inside and look out at it.

I live in Pennsylvania and I wish we would get a nice good snowfall. We just keep getting freezing rain which just causes problems. I would rather enjoy the scenary of snow!

Our trees look exactly like that right now. We had ice yesterday and then it started icing over pretty badly last night and stopped sometime earlier today I think. Everything is covered in ice except the roads it seems. It seems those are pretty clear.

I don't have any pictures of it. But I do remember when we received an ice storm while my brother in highschool and it was over in my home town. And I live in a place that maybe once in a blue moon you will see snow or you'll have an ice storm. I thought that it was really pretty as well. I think although, like you said, ice storms are pretty but dangerous. It kind of was not cool because, we didn't have any electricity and we were freezing and had to have our stove on during the whole time. The only cool thing about it was that we were out of school for a whole week, but once again was bad because we had to make up for the time we missed in school during the ice storm. But the scenery was beautiful.

That is beautiful but it really looks cold. It rained here last night and the wind is high today but it's not any bad weather. It is amazing how you all have rain, ice and snow, and I am not that far below you in the states and the weather is not that bad. I was looking at the weather channel yesterday and they were talking about all this wintry weather in Tennessee and I am not that far from Tennessee either. I am not asking for this wintry weather either. I do exactly like you when we do get ice, sleet and snow. Stay In The House As Much As Possible.

I live in Southern California so we don't see anything like this. I lived in Dallas for 5 years and about once a year, we would get an ice storm. I wish that I had pictures of it but at the time, it never occurred to me that I would move to LA and never live with snow and ice again. I'd forgotten how beautiful it is.

We have more snow than ice. It is pretty slippery though. It is pretty out, but not if you have to be out in it!!

We had sleet and freezing rain, followed by a blizzard mid December. I did not get any shoits of the ice though as it was too nasty to go outdoors. But here in Minnesota we have had a lot of snow so far this winter. Getting a couple more inches on Friday as well. Here's a shot from one of the snowstorms Dec 20th. It is of my backyard as the snow fell. Had about a foot on the ground as it started to snow again. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I've seen it, and it is beautiful, but it isn't something I want to go out in! I've got a story, but no energy to tell it about the stuff, just let it be said, tree, leaves, ice, eyeball....

That is absolutely beautiful. I'm in Sydney, Australia, and the only natural ice we ever see is the occasional hailstorm and maybe some very early morning frost in winter. I think snow and ice are very exotic and gorgeous to look at, but I don't think I'd want to have to deal with them on a day to day basis. Take care on those slippery roads.

Hey mentalward! Nice photo! We got the same weather last night! It was really bad out there, but it was beautiful as long as you didn't dare try to step foot outside the door! My boyfriend got home from work around 9:45PM and it had already started to ice up and he said he almost slipped a few times and he had rubber soles on his shoes so you can only imagine how bad it was getting. And that was only the beginning of the ice storm! Then this morning the schools were delayed and everything was delayed and I had a very important medical appointment that I had to get to of course! Luckily the ambulette was able to pick me up on time! It still is raining and it is now 24 hours later! I hope it doesn't freeze up again tonight because I have to walk tomorrow to get my prescriptions and I am deathly afraid of falling and breaking another bone!

wow..so interesting to hear that. because i have not see a snow falling and ice-covered about more than five years. sometimes i really miss it and want to have a trip to a city where are snow falling...but i always can't have the time and want to save the money...how pity...

oooh man... i live in switzerland and i hate it when something freezes :P i always slip about 2 or 3 times. that's not funny. it's about -7 degree here and it does look beatiful. at least it did once, but now the snow starts disapearing. ( kinda weird cause the temperature never raises over 0 degree ) in the forrest it's really beatiful, cause we have that little waterfall, which freezes. that looks great, maybe i'll take a photo of it on saturday. you gotta see that :D

Wow, I'm glad that you actually like snow. Here in Indiana - USA, it snows every year and you bet I hated it, lol.

yes there has been quite a bit of snow lately here in montreal too, it is beautiful until the black snow comes and you are right it is very dangerous especially black ice under the snow.

Hi MW I don't like ice at all, especially freezing rain it is really Icy here in the UK, and frosty enough the last thing we need is freezing rain....littleowl

I am waiting for a nice snow storm here in the Northeast. We received a lot of rain and freezing rain too the past couple days. It is pretty to see the ice but I don't want to be out driving in it.

Yes I have heard that there has been bad weather in some places this past season. I live in Alabama where we don't get that kind of inclement weather when it comes to ice and snow or freezing rain. I used to live north in Pennsylvania where they are experiencing some freezing rain and snow every now and again. Much more often then down here in the heart of Dixie. I have lived down here with my husband and son for about eight months now and we get tornado warnings once in a while. That kind of can be scary sometimes. Take care and enjoy your winter. I hope that you stay safe and be careful also.

So far this year I've only seen a little ice where water cascaded off the mountains and froze on the way down. This will be my first winter in a cold climate in a long time and I am looking forward to getting some good pictures. We have been having a lot of unseasonal rain for the last few days. It has been warm though so there was no danger of freezing. Now that the rain has stopped the temperature is dropping and the wind is picking up so I guess we will get some ice soon. Last night my daughter and I went to the store in the rain. On the way out of the parking lot we looked across at the cliff on the other side of the road. There was a beautiful waterfall going on. I tried to take some pictures but I don't know how they turned out because it was almost dark. It would have been awesome if it would have froze like that.

I live on a island where the sun shines all year round. I would'nt change it for anything i love it that way. I hate it when a cold front comes in our area i cant stand up to the cold. Well you said that the view is beautiful well i think the sunshine is much more. That's just my views thanks happy mylotting.
