It has been another weird weather year so far here in Northern New England. Chances are, it has been weird where you are too. We’ve had wild temperature swings causing freezing and thawing and refreezing in the rivers and streams. An 8 day cold snap mid-month finally froze the big lakes solid and then our light snow cover was completely washed away on January 31st when we had torrential downpours and temperatures were just shy of 60 degrees. Temperatures then dropped to colder than average freezing things back up including the puddles of rain that were everywhere. This means that the ice formations are quite beautiful this year. Here are a few.
Ice balls dangling over the river
ice layers
Icicles touching the river’s surface
ice and foam
ice drops shaped like a hershey kiss
What unique things are happening where you live due to the weather?

You have a keen eye for nature’s winter artwork. The suspended ice balls and “kiss” formations are sensational.

Thank you. It was a pleasure walking along the river and noticing the beautiful formations. They are all covered with snow now. 🙂

Thank you! I had a lot of fun taking them. Some I laid down on my stomach and got as close to the edge as I could.

Awesome shots! Thanks for sharing! We’ve had about the same weather pattern here, but less snow, until yesterday. It’s made it difficult to get nice winter pix.
