There was a lot of it.
An interesting couple of days here with freezing rain, heavy rain, high winds, power outtage overnight, a little snow and then some sun with everything still iced over. Page on down and you’ll actually see my first flowers of the year, too.
Frozen bittersweet berries. (Click images for larger view.)

Heavy rains Saturday pushed our little stream over it’s banks.
I was worried about how the beaver dam would hold up during snow melt. I should have more confidence in their construction skills.
Fog over the ridge provided some drama.
Frozen aconite flower bud ready to pop.
Cyclamen in bud, but they’ve been in bud for about three months now.
Some sun on Sunday morning.
Gratuitous doggie pix, Fred:

Close up of the willow in the background above to give you an idea of how much ice is coating things.
Snow-capped monarda and some more bittersweet.
