Starting just south of Austin and reaching north there accumulated about 12mm of ice on everything. Typical of Austin they had not prioritised limb trimming around power lines or engineering guy wires on transmission towers. As a result there are still ~50,000 jpeople served by Austin Energy without power after a week. I wasn't especially affected so went out and documented the sparkly ice. The first three are a Sago Palm that didn't respond too well to the prior cold snap: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Sago+frozen+fronds+III.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Sago+frozen+fronds.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Sago+frozen+fronds+II.jpg.html The next two are of a Desert Willow that was rather lovely in it's new clothing: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Desert+Willow+leaves+under+ice.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Desert+Willow+leaves+curled+and+iced.jpg.html The last two are an oak tree: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Oak+buds+on+ice.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Oak+leaves+under+ice.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
