We got hit again yesterday, this time freezing thunder-rain. Areas east were worse. After the ice storm of January, 2007 cleared things out, there weren't many tree limbs falling on electric lines. Fortunately, this time we did not loose power. This shot is looking at the greenhouse over a poor Chinese witch-hazel in full bloom (H. mollis). There was about 1/2" of ice buildup on the greenhouse (after some melting from below). The ice was in sheets making it easy to knock off with a long pool-pole. You can still see the remains of ice on the top.

The follow-up is a close-up of the witch-hazel blooms encapsulated in ice, about an inch thick.
