Actually, no, Gordon. The ground wasn't quite that white; you could still see the blades of grass; it was just like each blade was heavily coated with ice. And instead of evergreens, I have pecan, oak, sycamore, plum, hackberry, chinaberry, fruitless mulberry, and a couple of unidentified trees in the yard. Nearly all the leaves are gone so it was just wood all coated with ice, as were the overhead power wires, fences, etc. I guess that picture wouldn't look too much different from the Corps of Engineers land across the road - almost solid cedars. The temperature never quite made it to 32, but the sun came out for a very brief time. The ice fell off the barbed wire fences first and it looked like it was raining under all the trees it was dripping so fast along with the small pieces of ice falling. The good news is that it's supposed to be back in the 50s tomorrow./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
