ice

Lots of rain through the early morning, immediately turning to ice.

The dog and I were up early this morning, and standing outside as the small clumps of slush fell from the sky, I hoped for him to be clear about his focus, while deciding not to urge him on too much. Thankfully, he got his business done without either of us becoming encased in ice.

Walking down the drive to get the newspaper, I felt the crunch-chrunch under foot of beaded ice. The rain comes and goes in fits, creating multiple layers.
