The snow and accumulation of ice makes it feel like cement. Very hard crust. We are lucky so far. No downed trees.
We are a short drive away from Archer. I hope he had the same luck.You can see how thick it is.
It’s thick but it wears like a dream 😉
Had to go out for blood tests this morning, and the main roads were great. Our local streets though are just sheets of ice. The car didn't even make tracks in the driveway - solid ice.
Took a careful walk on the grass at the front of the house...turn up the volume...
Pulled up a piece - about 2 cm thick...
Pebbly texture to the ice...
Hopefully this all melts soon...so I don't have to try to clear if from the driveway...
For comparison here are some ice build-up pictures I came across a while ago. According to the embedded exif data first and second were taken in May 2003, third was taken in January 2005. No clues as to where 🙁
you need to add an Antarctic to your collection for you next trip to snowy conditions. 😎
Wow, that's like rime ice. Used to see that all the time at the summit of ski resorts on lift towers, etc., but nowhere is it more dramatic than at the weather station on top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. Some of the most severe winter weather on the planet and the highest recorded wind speed on Earth. Not where you want to be in the winter.
