Explosions and Quakes

Continuing on a theme:

Just a few more days to February!!!

The temps are well below average here, and a fair amount of snow too.

We also have both exploding trees (the sap expands in the cold, shredding the tree), and frost quakes or cryoseisms, (frozen ground cracks during rapid temperature drops, often with loud booms, and vibrations through the earth).

Eastside Cats' antique home has huge icicles hanging in a few locations, and these are not good news.

Weatherguessers give us at least another seven days in the bitter cold, yet we have it better than those who have lost power or had property destroyed by falling branches/trees due to ice, broken water mains flooding houses and streets, and ice jams on rivers, pushing water into more housing.

Stay safe out there, folks, and these sillies are just yucks to get us through it.

Winter Caturday

Our hearts go out to those in the Southern USA, who continue to struggle after the frigid temps, and resulting breakdown of electricity and water systems.

Here in the Midwest, we put on our boots, wrap a scarf or two around our faces, and shovel ourselves out.

Winter can be pretty, especially when the sun sparkles off newly fallen snow.

Don't get me wrong; I will not grieve for Old Man Winter for a millisecond, once warm temps begin again.
