Snow and ice

North Texas is at a virtual standstill. With 8.1 million people here now folks cannot get from point A to point B when there’s ice on the roads. It’s so rare for us to have this kind of weather we cannot justify buying all of the road equipment to clear our hundreds of miles of freeways and highways. It did make a beautiful scene this morning when I looked out. So thankful I don’t have to go anyplace today!

Wonderful capture of this beautiful but dangerous winter scene, with beautiful light too. Be careful on that ice, it can be so tricky.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Take care. It's difficult especially when not used to this kind of weather. It does make a lovely scene though, with the golden light. fav!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This makes me smile- I know it's something your area is totally unfamiliar with but here in northeastern PA, even with the ice, this is just a dusting! Stay safe and so glad you don't have to go out in it. (And truthfully-neither would I!)

[Joan Robillard]

Funny that you have ice and snow and here in Maine we have only ice on the ponds and lakes.

[Pam Knowler]

Such bizarre weather you are having in the US at the moment. Such extremes and so different to what is happening in LA!
Stay safe if you need to go out!

[Babs]

It must have been quite a surprise. Stay safe

Beautiful shot.

It does look beautiful and I’m so glad you don’t have any place you have to go. Was it last year or the year before that Texas got hit so hard with cold weather?

wow

[Beryl Lloyd]

Stunningly beautiful and calm!

@grammyn it was three years ago. 8° for days. This is just a little snow and ice with much warmer temperatures. Thank goodness.

@louannwarren hopefully things will improve immensely in just a day or two for you

[carol white]

[Carole Sandford]

Very pretty, but must be a shock to the system for you!

[Peter]

Pretty winter morning beautifully captured Lou Ann, Fav:)

[Michelle]

Very pretty but treacherous good idea to stay indoors and safe

@ludwigsdiana @ziggy77 @olivetreeann @joansmor @pamknowler @onewing @mittens @koalagardens @beryl @carolmw @carole_sandford @pcoulson @bigmxx thank you all so very much for your wonderful comments and faves. The sun came out for a few minutes today so the ice on the roads is melting off. Everyone is ready to get out and about. I’m sure tomorrow will be fine, the police have to be exhausted, there have been so many car accidents the last couple of days.

Beautiful shot. Great us of the hidden light. Looks like a day to stay inside.

[Judith Johnson]

Fabulous!
