Ice Storm and other crazy weather

Maple tree is touching the ground.
The cedar tree reminds me of a Dr. Seuss tree. : )

Yesterday was a day full of weather depending on where you were in the state of Michigan. To the North they were buried in snow receiving about 12" during the day.
Here in the Grand Rapids area we had snow (on the 15th) and rain, thunderstorms, high winds, hail and freezing temps (on the 16th) which produced a beautiful icy day today. South of GR (in Kalamazoo) they had 59 degree temps, thunder storms and tornado warnings. Kalamazoo is just an hour south of GR. How bizarre. So far today we have 21 degree temps in the GR area. Tomorrow should be even colder with highs of 10 degrees. (A good day to stay in the house) I wonder if ice will be able to melt from the heat of the sun since the air temp and wind chills certainly will not allow it. I only lost a few branches this time and did not lose my power. (Yahoo!)
At any rate, all the ice made for a few beautiful pics.
