18 - Baby It's Cold Outside!

Well, winter again!  Coldest night of the year so far, last night, at 19º.  Not much for northerners, I know, but in central Texas, we just don't get down into the teens that often.  
We got 1/2" of freezing rain, followed by 1/2" of sleet.  Made the trip to the barn a bit risky, but uneventful (thankfully!).  I got bold enough to go back for my camera once the horses were fed and watered.  This is off the corner of the barn.

  1. I'll bet it is a bit traumatic when you are not used to weather like that. Great shot. I like the blue sky and the textured wood seperated by the icicles.

  2. It must have got a little warm for the icicles to melt enough to freeze like that later, all you people do is complain, think of the Australians suffering 41%c today.

  4. I know it gets cold in TX but I never thought you'd have enough sustained cold and thaw to get icicles like that. Very nice shot!

  12. Sounds cold for Texas. You're growing icicles as great as the ones here in Wisconsin!
