December Ice Storm

The ice storm that hit Rochester overnight didn’t turn out all that bad, and if there had been a little more snow on the ground to make it less dreary, it could have been downright beautiful. It looks like we got between 1 to 2 inches of rain in the past few days, and with all the snow melt from last week’s storms there is quite a bit of water out there. I took a little time to walk around a bit, and here are a few photos of the ice on the trees.

February Snow Storm

The “fun” wasn’t trying to get down to Florida, but back from Florida, when a giant snow storm crippled the east coast. I was able to get home but mom and dad had to stay in Florida one extra day. The difference? My flight left an hour and a half later than theirs. When we did make it back to Rochester we were greeted with over a foot of heavy wet snow that remained in the trees for a few days after. It made for fun photography, and quite a change from the 80 degree weather of Key Largo.
