Ice Storm

On Sunday, January 22, we had an ice storm. We don't get those very often, but the temperatures had really been fluctuating. It was raining on Saturday, and then quickly turned to ice instead of snow.

When Ryan & I went out to the car to go to church a few minutes before 9 am, our next-door-neighbor's tree was completely covered with ice. The sun was just poking out from above the mountains, and shining on to the ice crystals on the tree. It was SO beautiful! I thought for a moment about running back into the house for my camera, but decided we needed to get to church on time.

So, I was pleasantly surprised at sunset when we had the scene almost re-created (although not quite as dramatic) with the tree in the yard to the west of us. The pictures don't do it justice. It was beautiful!
