Ice

Here's some pics from last night's (and today's) ice storm.

This is a small cherry tree we planted.

This is the chicken wire on the side of the coop.

This is some of the netting on top of the coop. This is made from knitted nylon.

Here is the handle on the frost free. I figure the handle is about 1/2 inch think. Which makes the ice about the same.

We've got a bunch of weeds that look like this.

And this is what the field looks like. Hope you guys are missing out on this.

Nice pictures. We'll have something like that about once every 10 years, but not this late in the year. [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Bird,

We usually don't get them this late either. Usually this is January or February weather.

I just finished watching the weather. The forecast for tonight is 24 degrees, with up to 1/2 inch of additional ice, followed by 1 to 3" of snow and the possibility of a thunderstorm.

Sounds like even the weatherman is getting confused.

Early this morning, the forecast was for a 20% chance of rain, but with the thunder, lightning, and steady rain about 6:30 a.m., they increased the forecast to 70% chance.

And tomorrow the forecast is for a 20% chance of scattered thunderstorms until late afternoon when "scattered" changes to all the area. My tee time is 11:37 a.m., but the last group in our little tournament doesn't tee off until 12:48 p.m. so I'm wondering how late "late" is. [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] At least the temperature will almost undoubtedly be in the upper 70s. [img]/forums/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Be careful, Bird. Lots of people get zapped on the Golf Course. They warn us every spring that you can get zapped even if it's not raining and you don't hear any thunder. [img]/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
