Nature's crystal adorns Dallas

Last night it started raining heavily as the temperature dropped, and this morning our world was 19 deegrees and ice (not snow!) glazed. It's so gorgeous but so treacherous. Double click on each picture to expand for detail. The good news is that the sun is out and temps are climbing rapidly. It should be above freezing soon, hitting a possible high in the low 40s by late afternoon. This is not a big deal to northerners, but everything comes to a screeching halt here in Texas when we get frozen precipitation. Schools have been closed for 2 days, but everything should be back to normal by tomorrow.

Wow !!! You still have leaves on your trees. We are getting a mix of snow and ice right now. Glad you are getting to share.:>)

All the trees with leaves are evergreens--live oaks, hollies, photinias, etc. I don't mind sharing the ice and snow as long as we don't get the amount you do!

So pretty Mo! I just hope it's gone next week. I want to be able to go for a nice long walk like we did last time we came to Dallas.
