Frozen Solid

Fir and Ice


The weather has been clear and cold for the past week with lows in the twenties at night and highs barely above freezing during the day. Prior to the cold snap Western Washington endured more typical December weather—rain, followed by more rain. The photo shows the predictable result of leaving a wheelbarrow outside in the ready position for the duration. Nature filled it with water, which then froze all the way to the bottom. Previously I tossed in the fir branches while cleaning up at Treasure Island from the pre-Thanksgiving windstorm.

The forecast calls for higher temperatures and rain showers by the end of the week. Back to normal. Let it be so.

  1. Been cold everywhere. We had -16 in Breckenridge a few days ago!

  2. It’s cold here too. For us anyway. When I got up in the morning it was 58 degrees in the house. Dad has become addicted to undershirts. Thankfully I sound some t-shirts in a drawer. One was from the Nautilus Museum another from the Volador.

  4. What you get, we get in even lower temperatures and loads of snow. Makes skiing fabulous though.
