Ice ice baby


We are definitely in winter's grip, though it's been the kind of cold weather I really quite enjoy, with blue skies and some sunshine; crisp, very cold, icy cold in fact. We've only had one very light dusting of snow here (yet) though the east coast and North York Moors had quite heavy snowfall, I gather. The Leeds-Liverpool Canal was well iced up. That boat is going nowhere, for now. As usual, little boys were hurling rocks to try and break the ice but it had little effect (except to clog up the canal when eventually it thaws!) 


Lots of pretty, swirly patterns in the ice... I remember when we used to get those patterns on the windows at home, before we had central heating and double glazing. I don't miss that, attractive though they were.

  1. Brrr, but beauty in ice patterns. I remember sitting in my car when the windows were covered with ice, and just enjoying all the differences. When I tried taking photos they weren't half as nice as your last one here.

  2. Lovely to see blue sky reflected in water. And looks very "walkable" compared to the snow situation here... ;)

  4. Ah yes, the beautiful frost patterns on the windows. Brrrr. I too am glad they are a thing of the past, lovely as they were. I do hope not to see them again ...
