Frozen in (curved) time

If you follow weather to any degree - and I think we all should, if only to know what we should be wearing on any given day - you may get all tingly when the weather warnings are first posted.

Today’s weather fun revolves around a possible ice storm that may or may not move into the region. We know we’re getting some kind of significant weather event, mind you, but it remains to be seen whether the tiny temperature shifts one way or another will result in a major freezup or just a lot of rain. Such mystery from on high, and frankly it’s one of the things that makes weather so enjoyable to track. Even with all the technology in the world, there’s still a bit of uncertainty in the skies.

So I find myself looking back at photos from an ice storm earlier this winter, when the branches were weighed down with thick layers of frozen delight. As much as I appreciate the danger of this kind of meteorological event, I similarly appreciate its stark beauty, and the quiet comfort of observing it from behind a window, preferably with a mug of something in hand.

Alas, we have a dog, so I had to venture out for a bit. I found this encrusted tree not far from home, its curved branches seemingly speaking with each other as they gracefully endured the weight from above. It seemed like something worth remembering before the inevitable next meteorological twist melted the ice and spawned the next round of breathless weather-related speculation.

Because there’s always a new story waiting to be written in the skies, ready to reshape the otherwise ordinary places below. We’d hate to miss the show, wouldn’t we?
